Re: History of Toilet Paper
Always remember walking past the loo on my way out of the shower room after ablutions one evening at sea, Someone inside the loo was shouting can you help me there is no loo paper...…………….. I new it was the bosun's voice, Sure 1 min rushed up to the chippy and got a role of sand paper, Went back and hurled it over the door...…………. Who the bloody hell is that out there he said...……………………..

Re: History of Toilet Paper
A wife sent her husband a romantic text message. She wrote: "If you are sleeping, send me your dreams. If you are laughing, send me your smile. If you are eating, send me a bite. If you are drinking, send me a sip. If you are crying, send me your tears. I love you". Her husband texted back: " I'm in the toilet, please advise.

Re: History of Toilet Paper
No paper needed if you are a LOHTI user (not sure if spelling is good).
Went into Sembawang drydock in mid 70's, very nice tidy dock, one of the buildings had LOHTI USERS ONLY, stencilled in big letters on wall.
In my ignorance I enquired what does that mean, to be told that the lohti is a small pot which is filled with water and is in effect a portable (not potable)
bidet for persons of a certain religion. Suitably enlightened I carried on with the job.
Couple of days later I go ashore into the city, which by this time was seeing more and more tourists. Walking thro change alley I burst out laughing when I saw some female tourists buying ... brass lohti pots as souvenirs.

Re: History of Toilet Paper
#16...was a bit loath to put that one down Tony incase upset certain people, however is number 38 on my list ... the same people always use their bare left hand. They eat with their right hand. If you are caught shoplifting , your right hand is cut off forcing you to eat with your poopy left hand... yummy!,

Re: History of Toilet Paper
If can’t find best go back to the old faithful the crumpled newspaper. If your neighbours is lying on the drive borrow his, and replace after use, am sure he won’t mind. May not even notice. JS...

A man was jailed today for defecating in a Belfast city centre fast food restaurant.
Belfast Magistrates' Court heard Crawford had been directed to the toilets after entering the restaurant on January 21 this year.
But he defecated on the floor before reaching them.
