Wink do not poo poo this , pooed for thought

You know when I read the label on recycled toilet paper, it made all kinds of things flash through my mind. Okay, you may be saving thousands of trees, but what are you actually wiping your bum with ? It could be anything. In some ways I found the thought amusing. When paper is recycled, it could be anything from newspapers to check books, from bills to loveletters, and each time you sit down on the toilet with this stuff beside you, you kind of conjure up pictures of what it could be !!! I then went out to the local supermarket to see if I could find it, and low and behold there it was at 2.50 Euros as opposed to the 3.40 Euros for the normal paper. I was amazed that even the French have gotten in on the act but then it is called Nouvelle so what can I say ? .............. sometimes I think I should cut myself a key and get out more
