Years ago, my oldest brother Cole discovered someone had been stealing toilet paper from the shelf in the men's bathroom at Bill's 66.?ÿ After an initial investigation we all confirmed it was an "outside job" and the culprit needed to pay.?ÿ He 'salted' a number of TP rolls?ÿwith itching powder purchased at the local dime store.?ÿ Everyone that worked there knew not to use the TP in the boxes on the shelf.
It didn't take but a day or two and several customers exhibited "symptoms", mostly older gents...and even the local beat cop.?ÿ It was a real head scratcher.?ÿ I think a few men even would up at the doctor's office complaining of a fierce rash.?ÿ
We finally figured it out.?ÿ
The beat cop that worked the night shift knew the outside door to the?ÿmen's bathroom at the VFW club stayed unlocked at night.?ÿ He would use the bathroom there because all the other places were closed. Apparently he felt the TP in the bathroom at Bill's 66 was free and he would grab a roll or two to keep in his prowl car incase there was no TP at the VFW.?ÿ He apparently left a 'tainted' roll in there and over a period of a day or two a lot more men used the john there. I bet there was a dozen or more 'victims'...all seemingly unrelated.
It was hilarious.?ÿ But only us Cash boys could laugh about with each other...another secret we swore to take to our graves.
This was not an issue in my early years when the two-holer just past the chicken house had a roll or two setting on the far ends of the boards. ?ÿSometimes you felt the need to wipe off some excess dust, cobwebs or spider webs before applying said material to sensitive areas.
this thread reminded me of Russell the scout in the movie "Up"- when he heads into the jungle with his garden shovels and some leaves ansd exclaims, "OH Boy!!! I ALWAYS WANTED TO DO THIS!!!!!"
I solved the toilet paper problem by keeping a roll of MY favorite brand in the cabinet. Get it out when I need it and put it back when I am done. It becomes automatic in a very short time. In the process I have discovered I use one roll to my wife's 7 rolls. I haven't changed a roll of toilet paper on the holder in over a year. She can put it over, under, sideways, anyway she wants it.

Let the history books note the widespread deforestation of the planet was largely due to the feminine of the species. ??ÿ
