Ashotep Posted May 17, 2013 #1 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Venezuela’s socialist government is scrambling to find new sources for toilet paper as consumer supplies run out nationwide, according to The Associated Press. http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/05/16/venezuela-running-out-of-toilet-paper-report/ That's serious business when you run out of toilet paper. Unfortunately they are facing shortages on things like milk, coffee and butter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xYlvax Posted May 17, 2013 #2 Share Posted May 17, 2013 All things we take for granted, here in the land of the spoiled.. What if we could remake cigarette filters into toilet paper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orcseeker Posted May 17, 2013 #3 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Cannabis plantations? More efficient, less environmentally taxing etc than the current resources. They also make for a higher output per square meter which makes for more farmland for cattle and coffee plantations. Which greedy industries and backward/ignorant politicians are holding this back? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Merton Posted May 17, 2013 #6 Share Posted May 17, 2013 That is one of the things I dislike about travel to the States. They have toilet paper, not sprayers or bidets. For a fat man that is hard to do; it is also unsanitary and doesn't do a complete job, resulting in "skid marks." It is also wasteful of trees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at least you do not have to use squat toilets, which is tough for a fat man, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are rare now and pretty much just in the country. I think its healthier for reasons I won't get into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
