GEORGE: What did they do for toilet paper in the civil war?
JERRY: What?
GEORGE: I wonder what toilet paper was loike in the 1860’s. Did they carry it in rolls in their duffle bags?
JERRY: Everything with you comes down to toilet paper.
GEORGE: What?
JERRY: That’s always the first question with you. Why is that always your focus?
GEORGE: All right, so what did they do?
JERRY: I don’t know. Maybe they gave out fig leaf clumps to all the soldiers.
GEORGE: Well I think it would be nice if there was some kind of historical record of it.
JERRY: Maybe they should have a toilet paper museum. Would you like that? So we could see all the toilet paper advancements down through the ages. Toilet paper of the Crusades, the development of the perforation, the first six-pack . . .

It's amazing what three years of Latin can do to you.

The first time I went to Pompeii in my late adolescence was in the mid-60s. I was touring that day with a couple of other “girls.” The docents would not let us into several of the rooms with mosaics because they were “improper” for young ladies back in the day.
I also remember being in an Italian museum on that trip, possibly the Naples Museum, where a museum guard demonstrated why some of the statues of gladiators, centaurs and fauns had a hole in the bronze where the male pee-pee should be. He had detachable bronze “parts” in his desk drawer that could be hooked (erectly) into those openings. He got a big kick out of the thought of embarrassing us, but we were history of art students and not so easily shocked.

Those would give you splinters in your heinie. And the ancient ones appeared to be over a water flushing system, tooa lot less stinky than dumping lime into the stuffy, windowless scout camp outhouses.
