Do you want polite or do you want sincere?

Grant me the senility to forget the people
I never liked anyway,
the good fortune to run into the ones I do,
and the eyesight to tell the difference.....
==============================

If it a paper element, I'd replace it if it got wet.
The fibers will be matted together and won't flow
or filter properly and will now clog quickly.
Fewer areas between the fibers for air to flow through
and much less total surface area to catch particles.
