What is August 26th? Among many things, it is national toilet paper day. I know, seriously, right! Who thought of this?? Maybe the makers of Charmin?
Hats off (or should I say, pants down) to those little rolls of paper that we all hold dear in that particular time of need. Heaven forbid a simple daily duty becomes a tricky situation. Imagine, you are in a public restroom. You reach for the toilet paper only to realize that the precious roll is bare! There is nothing left but the roll of cardboard and a tiny little scrap of TP blowing in the wind. Taunting you, as if to say “tisk, tisk, if only you had been here sooner. My last square could have been yours”.
Hurrah to the fabulous soul with the thought of “I grow weary of wiping my bum with leaves or prickly clumps of moss”. Thank you to the intuitive individual who said, “I will no longer wipe my behind with a cloth and then wash it out and hang it to dry! Throw it away and be done with it!”.
I, for one, am very thankful for this modern convenience. This modern marvel that helped move us past the Dark Ages and into the civilized life that we know today. Hurrah for the soft caresses of a biodegradable quilted square against a bare tush. Hurrah I say!

Yes and when we are out they have usually thrown those last pieces on the floor. I try to keep a pack of emergency tissues in my bag. What is most frustrating is when you find a locked toilet roll holder that has decided to stop dispensing the toilet paper. Talk about frustrating. And do the people in your house put the new roll on? I buy double length so it doesn't have to be done so often. Oh dear, whinging Pom again.., I have just posted about people who don't have any sanitation so I should be grateful!
That is a good idea to keep an emergency pack on hand! Thank you for posting!
Funny! Great post!
Thank you!
Love this kind of post. We use toilet paper every day but don't think much of it until we run out. Even when we run out at home we can always clean up the old fashioned way. Yet, when we are out somewhere it's a mite harder to do so.
True, we never think about it much until we are out! Thank you for your post! I enjoy reading yours and I hope you are doing better and can get out of that hospital!
