I believe there might be a market there. Can you imagine wiping your @$$ every time you have a BM with TP having pictures of the prophet imprinted on it? I'd pay a premium for it!

I remember that movie.

That was the scene where Captain Kirk got stranded on a planet without a roll.


Hey, what do Captain Kirk and a roll of toilet paper have in common?
