Well it's not like colored poo-paper is brown with yellow specks is it?

Still, at least we have toilet paper. I remember on my travels being told to "use the jug of water." Give me a lemon-wet-wipe anyday.
An Indian (asian Indian) I know said one of the things she misses most when she is in india visiting rellies is proper toilet paper... she told me over there these use a cloth that they rinse after each use (i didn't ask if it was shared or not). I guess we should be thankful for TP even if it is white only.;)

Who knows it may only be a native thing... hopefully. Although when she was telling me she was talking about visiting her grandmother... so maybe it is an old way too :confused:

I have been to some places in Texas were they don't have blocked bog problems, cause everyone wipes, then puts it into a wastepaper basket right beside the crapper.

Nothing like going for a whiz and looking at matey's remains of his breakfast staring you in the face:scared:

at least you can see clearly when you're errr...clean.

I remember when I was in the army cadets, we had 8 sheets of "goverment property" toilet paper in our 24 hour ration packs, thing was it was like tracing paper, so it would smear rather that wipe, so after a few days of that, the 'ol song "ring of fire" came to mind.

Now you may be asking "8 sheets" not enough, but the idea was to tear a hole in the center, stick one's finger through it, then shove your finger up yer jacksey, then pull the paper down and clean the finger. Luckily after eating the Brown AB biscuits, you were stopped up for days, so we never got to try that method out!

You know this must be a guy thing, cause I would just die if I couldn't wipe properly. In fact sometimes I want those wet tissues. Between washing my hair and wiping myself, if I wasn't able to do any of these I'd die of mortification. Don't stick me out in the d%&n jungle!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I was in college my room-mate Ben would use pages from the Bible that the University leave for every student. He seemed to relish in it.

Apparently the uber-rich of old would use the neck of a swan. Odd as that sounds it's far more appealing to me than re-using a rag that every filthy 'erbert has used to scratch their kidneys with.

you forced me to rip you to shreds on the 'help me I'm feeling used by a Russian' thread...do you insist that I destroy you on this one too?

:D

do you insist that I destroy you
:)

I dunno why but I can picture you in checkout lines at the supermarket screaming that at the cashier.

CASHIER: Er, sorry but this coupon has expired.

CHRIS (wearing gloves and stroking a cat): Do you insist that I destroy you?!

CASHIER: Sorry?

CHRIS: I could crush you like a bug you peon!


Honestly, next time somebody tells me I can't do something I am going to say that.

:D
