Re: The Facts, Man - Just The facts..........
Well Pete, that list is not complete as........you never........explained.......how.......to......
Cook toilet paper..........easy........you......
Brown it and throw it in the pot. -----6
On another note, I too, have heard that Muslims wipe their azz with their left hand. If that is for real, what kind of animals are they? What do they do, get a glob of stuff on their hands and just fling it? Let it build up? Wipe it on their pants? Pat their buddy on the back?----me

Re: The Facts, Man - Just The facts..........
Reminds me of a buddy that was an Army Drill Instructor.
To paraphrase him,
Take 1 sheet of TP, fold it corner to corner, then again into a triangle. Now tear off the tip of the triangle, unfold it and put finger through the hole in center of sheet. DONT THROW AWAY THE TIP YOU TORE OFF! Wipe with your finger.
Now I'm sure you are wondering what the torn off piece is for... To clean under your finger nail!
He actually had a recruit do this!

Re: The Facts, Man - Just The facts..........
This topic is certainly fully digested. Some might call it a waste of time. I was not aware of what colon of paper that Beyonce uses. I did not know about French royalty using lace. I wonder who sewage it for them? Then the use of broken pottery. What a crock of....

My Dad grew up with an outhouse. He remembers using newspaper, Sears catalogs, and corn cobs as a kid. He says that you didn't spend any more time than necessary. Too cold in the Winter and the smell in the Summer would cause you to hurry up.
