Guess it is back to the Sears catalog.

Does Sears still publish a catalog?

I bet it is in .pdf only. Better print out a few pages before heading for the bathroom.

Wiped out or wiped on?

On second thought, nevermind! :icon_lol:

On a serious note, however, if less paper products are being consumed in the first place, then regardless of how much is recycled, doesn't that mean a greater supply of the raw material?

I'm smelling a rat here, which is likely no better than the other smell normally associated with toilet paper!

Paris Hilton said we should only use one sheet ...

Good luck with that after a hard night out drinking ... :salute:
