I use a baby seal to wipe my ass. And then flush it.

Don't know or care how green it is, but the wife better get the quilted TP next time she goes to the store or there'll be hell to pay  :mad:

What was all the buzz a while ago with some groups and celebs coming out saying we should use only one square of toilet paper? Anyone remember that?  :huh:
When I was in Budapest back in 89 the little old ladies at the public restrooms only handed out two squares.  No Communism for me, thank you very much.

Recycled toilet paper- it costs twice as much as the normal stuff, is of generally inferior quality and has a name that makes people wretch.

In USSR, there was no toilet paper at all in the public bathrooms.  It was ingrained in Russian psyche to take everything that isn't bolted down and isn't watched, and so you never had one on hand.  If you had to take a shit in the public bathroom, your only hope was to have newspaper with you.  Later on you couldn't even buy TP in the stores for home consumption, so it was blackened asses even at home.

So they "couldn't spare a square...."

Reminds me of a Seinfeld episode.    :D

How does one go about getting recycled toilet paper?  That just sounds nasty.

Hehe... well, it's certainly just recycled paper being used. Given that many of us are now recycling a lot of stuff now, hopefully there is a market for it.
