Re: Toilet paper is about 150 years old....
Funny how some things never change...Even though TP is nearly 150 years old, it really has not changed that much. Sure there is pleated tissue, and dbl and now triple ply but, has it really changed that much.
I was brought up the same way my father was, only three sheets of TP but you could have all the newspaper you wanted.
My daughter on the other hand, (no pun entended) thinks it not only grows on trees but, the rolls are magic too. For as far as she knows they climb out from under the sink and jump up onto the holder by them self.
As I think back to my military days, I remember that TP was as good as gold in the field. As less and less people smoke these days, we had to re-invent field trading. My best score that I can remember was two packs of TP out of the MREs for a package of hot chocolate powder, two extra 10 round mags and a John Wayne bar. Of course after the 15 year old candy I was glad I had brought a roll of two ply from the rear.
Guys and gals in the service today, while I respect them fully, just have no idea, what, with babywipes and the like. They even have the Aloe stuff in the PX...grunts just are not like they used to be.
