Seriously, when I was in Burma my colleague got the sniffles and ran out of

As these numbers break down to 57 sheets (no pun) per person per day, this will no doubt lead to a

I certainly don't blame her for using American toilet paper. When I was in
England we found that public restrooms (in train stations, etc.) had paper
of the approximate absorbency of waxed paper. Each square was marked with a

Didn't mean to imply I had anything against Scott--I can hardly remember it.
However, we DO get Kleenex toilet paper here (I think)
The trouble with recycled and with private brand toilet paper is finding the
way to open the roll.
You ever get a roll that needs to be ripped, torn, and flung against the wall
to get it started?
Then the first bit comes off about six sheets thick and . . . oh darn . . .
it's so frustrating.
This is your first summer in the new property. How is it. I'm familiar with the

Britain (and other European countries) used to be famous for ghastly toilet
paper.
They started to get developed country toilet paper in the late 70s/early 80s.
I remember in the mid-80s though, visiting the department of Trade and Industry
near Parliament in London--you could do market research there.
They had exactly the toilet paper you describe in the bathrooms.
When I asked why such execrable and unhealthy paper was provided, the answer
was.
"If it was good toilet paper, people would steal it."
As a Canadian this was a new concept to me. I couldn't recall people ever
stealing toilet paper in Canada.
It was quite a cultural insight.

********************
Ghost Poo
You know you've pooed. There's poo on the toilet paper, but not in the
toilet. Where is it?
Teflon Poo
So slick and easy you don't even feel it. No trace of poo on the toilet
paper. You have to look in the toilet to be sure you did it.
Goo Poo
This has the consistency of hot tar. You wipe twelve times and you still
don't come clean. You end up putting toilet paper in your underwear so you
don't soil it. Permanent skid marks are left in the toilet.
Second Thoughts Poo
You're all done wiping and about to stand up when you realize... there's
more to come.
Pop a Vein in Your Forehead Poo
This is the kind of poo that killed Elvis. It doesn't want to come out until
you're all sweaty, trembling and purple from straining so hard.
Weight Watchers Poo
You poo so much you lose several pounds.
Right Now Poo
You'd better be within thirty seconds of a toilet. You burn rubber to get
there and it usually gets its head out before you can get your pants down.
King Kong Poo
This one is so big you think it won't go down the toilet unless you break it
into smaller chunks. A wire coat hanger usually works well. This kind of poo
usually happens when you're at someone else's house.
Cork Poo
Also known as "floaters". Even after the third flush it's still there,
floating in the bowl. My God! How do I get rid of it?
Wet Cheeks Poo
This poo hits the water sideways and makes a bigger splash than the
launching of the QE2, soaking your starfish.
Wish Poo
You sit there all cramped up and fart a few times, but no poo.
Cement Block Poo
You wish you'd gotten a spinal block before you pooed.
Snake Poo
This poo is fairly soft, about as thick as your thumb and at least three
feet long.
Morning After Poo
Happens the day after the night before. Normally your poo doesn't smell that
bad, but THIS one... Usually you're at someone else's house (normally a girl
you're trying to impress) and they're waiting outside to use the bathroom.
Mexican Food Poo
Also called "screamers". You know it's safe to eat again when your bum stops
burning.
Boo Hoo Poo
Makes you cry with pain and wonder whether your should risk the stitches or
go for the fuller figure.

That's an awful lot of Scotch. Especially drunk alone.

Irish whiskey with a very Scotch-like taste. It had that same dark,
peaty, smoky taste but there was a little something extra in it that
Scotch didn't have. That and Wild Turkey 100 proof bonded were the only
two whiskeys that I could lay back and actually enjoy without getting
snockered. I used to be able to make a jigger of either last at least
ten minutes. Wonderful, both of them.

is just a little less than a United States gallon. A fifth was called
that because originally it really was a fifth of a gallon or 25.6 fluid
ounces. It doesn't matter if it's whiskey, wine, or ginger ale. The
nearest metric equivilant is that 750 ml jug. What you're talking about
is certainly not a fifth. Some people might call it a tenth, or a
split.

I could download all 15000 at one time but my poor pc would probably have a
fatal error thing!! It takes about 10 minutes to get 600 so I would have to
sit here for 25 hours!!

well . . . I do believe a fifth Is in fact a fifth of a US gallon/i.e. 25 1/6
ounces approx
a half bottle is a 'mickey'
a 1.75 liter bottle is a TEXAS mickey.
Until at least the early 90s we used to get 40 ouncers here in Ireland--like
was the case in Canada--now it's just liters.
a 40 ouncer always left a bottle a day man enough for breakfast

ONE FIFTH of a US gallon=25.7 ounces
liter = 160/4.55=35.16 ounces
half a fifth is a mickey
quarter of a fifth is a pony
1/16th of a fifth is a miniature
goodness knows what one eighth of a fifth is
a semiquaver????????????

A fortieth?
2½%?
Not very much?
Actually Carl if your going for a musical theme, I suggest a 'semi*breve*'
It sounds more like something a real man would ask for.
