This paper sounds perfect for giving in your resignation.
To: Lorianne
This is from the Australian state of Tasmania. Any sane Australian will note that Tasmania is made up of "clean, environmentally friendly, peacenik, progressives" in other words, Australia's equivalent to Vermont (or Washington state).

"At the moment we are finding it very difficult to get the quantity of poo we need," she said. Well, maybe we can ship them some good ol' bullsh!t from Washingtomn, DC....

I wonder if they have ever experimented with percolated Peacock poop.

Since Kerry 'reported for doody', he could have used some of this paper to make his campaign environmentally friendly.

If they can figure a way to make paper from pig Poo North Carolina has supplies in abundance and if they can make it from Chicken poo the eastern Shore of Maryland could supply enough to rewrite half the libraries of the world.

Uh hu. So how much money does it cost to turn poo to paper...[?] Well, to make conventional paper, wood or other cellulose sources are shreded and subjected to an enzyme bath to dissolve the lignin. The resulting mash is then washed and matted into sheets, bleached, rolled, dried, and cut. There are a lot of other steps along the way depending on the desired product, but that's the rough process.
It sounds as though 'roo poo is already halfway there. =]
