Mamzelle,
Years ago I asked a 90+ year old woman who grew up a farm girl on the stepps of Russia, bubbie, you’ve seen so many new and wonderful things come in your lifetime. Planes, t.v. Telephones, computers, etc. what are you most glad came along.
She thought for about thirty seconds and said TOILET PAPER.
Get two years worth. Trade a roll for cartons of cigarettes.

My grandmother had something like 800 rolls of toilet paper and 600 rolls of paper towels. That was back when a roll of tp lasted more than a couple days. The big double rolls of today are like a third of what they used to be.

Saw a hilarious comedy skit on net - guy was eating lit cigarettes and then changed to eating napkins. Said if you do that you don’t need toilet paper.
