I am in the habbit of tearing off 4 sheets in a pile to conserve toliet paper.
That reminds me of a graffito I once saw:

But if that little brown baby boy chooses to be born on the sabbath then he will be thrown into a pit!
I think he was talking about pushing out a turd....since we are talking about toilet paper.

Maybe you can tell your relatives to bring plenty of coins when they visit you next time! :jest:

That reminds me...in an Asian country I visited in the late 1980s, there was a gal sitting at a table outside of the rest room. I recall it was some sort of place with vendors.

Anyhow, you would pay the gal so much money and she would unroll some toilet paper for you to use. Actually she was quite generous with the amount of toilet paper!

My dad grew up on a farm during the Great Depression. He said when the Sears & Roebuck Christmas catalog came out in late November, they'd keep it in the outhouse, and tear out a page at a time for toilet paper. With luck, it would last until Easter.

My mom also used the Sears catalog for toilet paper.

When they lived in the country, they had an outhouse like your photo. Once there was a black snake on the shelf in the outhouse. Her dad came and threw the snake down the riverbank. Lots of snakes there.

She had good memories living there as a child....their town and several others got demolished and covered with the Youghiogheny Dam in Pennsylvania.

One time we kids were skinny dipping in the River, someone stoe our clothes. That night, we moved their outhouse back off the hole. Their dad, came out looking at a playboy magazine with a flash light, not looking at the ground. He fell in. I tossed in a rope already tied to a tree and we all ran home. At School, all their kids were afriad of us because we were a mean group. We did things like run someone up the flag Pole nude. Once my Brother Larry hooked up a shocker to the plumbing --- when someone peed in a urnal, they got a jolt. I chained all the doors outside and someone else then triggered the fire alarm. Yes, we were not saved at that time.

We have 3 new Sisters in Christ. I gave them my blessing, they started asking questions, the Holy Spirit related it all to the gospel. They repented of their sins and asked our lord and savior into their lives.

My wife's family tree contains, if it is not in the Bible, you can't do it. Also, one must do things the way Jesus did.
They were over as guests for dinner. I replaced the Toliet Paper with three buckets: 1) Fresh Water to rinse, 2) Soapy Water and 3) Vinegar water with a sponge on a stick.
Back in Jesus's day people would take the stick out of the vinegar water, dip in soapy water, redip in viegar water, then in fresh water to clean their behinds -- leaving the stick in the vinegar water.
I left a note on how to do it all.

Her Brother's wife was first in the latrine. Red the note and screamed for toliet paper. I would not tell anyone where to find it. I explained that is how Jesus did it. And, reminded them what they always tell others to do.
