Toilet paper

[Fnaar]

For those who have been caught out while cycling I can confirm that grass works quite well...

In days of old,
When knights were bold
And paper weren't invented.
They'd wipe their arse
On clumps of grass
And walk away contented.

Presumably the best thing before sliced bread!

What was 'old' toilet paper, then? Twigs, straw, hay etc.?

Presumably the best thing before sliced bread!

Which was invented in 1928

Can't remember ever having used sliced bread (must have been drunk ).

I reckon sphagnum is the best for a moist wipe when caught al fresco.

Isn't the USA a suburb of Leicester?
