Re: [Paddlewise] Disposing of toilet paper.

I remember a movie a few years ago where a frustrated
and citified Los Angeles husband insisted on taking
his wife camping in the Sierras. Unfortunately they
didn't plan for the serious calls of nature and didn't
bring any toilet paper. "What shall I do said the timid
suburban housewife"? "Oh, that no problem honey" just
go of in the woods and use tree leaves" was the 
outdoors expert husband, eager to please and ameliorate
his wifes fears for him having forgot to bring the
toilet paper.

I guess the paramedics and ambulance had to be dispatched
to retrieve her because 'unbeknownst to her' she had
used poison Ivy leaves.  Aggggggggggh#^$%_at_(*&#!
 
Puts a whole new meaning to the seven year itch  %^)  %^)
You might find this in the CIA book of dirty tricks-
how to get even with someone (poison ivy juice on a toilet
seat?) For those who want to economize on spending money
on toilet paper I guess you could call this scratch and save?
