If they would do like the US, and kill off some of their population and replace them with Muslims, there would be no need for so much toilet paper.

You're so right. By the way, how many sheets ARE THERE in a koran?

Trouble is, they can’t afford the paper to print catalogs either

Zimbabwe, about 10 years ago, didn't have the hard currency to buy paper and ink to print currency.

Does this mean that many Venezuelans are full of s***?

Mark Steyn, subbing for Limbaugh about a year ago, mentioned something about the moonbat crowd trying to get the importation of logs from Canada banned for the manufacture of TP.

Thanks for mentioning that.

Pink TP for celebs, one-square-per for the rest of us... isn’t totalitarianism just great!?

Wasn’t that long ago when the old USSR had constant tp shortages. People found that PRAVDA worked fairly well as a substitute.

Yet another wonderful aspect of the sort of state socialism Obama has planned for us all.

Maybe they should hire Sheryl Crow as a consultant.

One great man quoting another. I had the privelege of listening to Milton Friedman speak at a university commencement once. Didn't know a soul in the graduating class. But I was in town, saw it in the paper and thought it just too good of an opportunity to pass up.

Well worth my time to see that greatness in person, May 1980.

Those are big rolls. The average tp roll is about 70ft. A 30m roll would be about 165ft. They will probably have to buy new dispensers.
