“Nothin spells out a nations greatness like nationalized butt wipes.”
If it’s like here, they could start with a government agency, NBS - National Butt Swipes. Then they could spend money later to change the name to NIST - National Institute of Sanitary Tissue.

We are from the government and we are here to help you. Of course, what that really means is:
We are from the government and we are here to help ourselves.

“The first sign that you have achieved Communism is when toilet paper becomes a luxury.”
Startlingly true.

You got me on that. I do have a problem with my run on sentences. The learning curve for pithy and succinct is graphed like a 179 degree angle.

I'm not a regular member of the grammar police. But, it's 2am here in the Philippines and I'm up watching the Nascar race of FoxSports. I was reading posts and that one glared enough to make me chuckle. I can't be too critical as I tend toward such verbosity too many times!

I wasn’t offended. It was a legitimate query asked in a good-humored, tongue-in-cheek way, more curious than anything else.Thanks for providing the lead to the contest. I’ll check it out out of curiosity but have no intention of entering into the competition.

The government toilet paper will be marketed under a new brand name, “John Wayne Toilet Paper”, because it will be rough, tough, and won’t take sh!t off anybody.
