I have often wondered what amenities I simply couldn’t live without and I have come up with toilet paper and my inside bathroom, but of course you have to have inside plumbing water to flush it down plus the system to carry all that crap to some place that we don’t have to mess with it. Can you possibly imagine the horrible mess we would have to contend with if we didn’t have a sewer system? That whole system is brilliant.

I remember the out houses of old, but I’m sure many of you have no clue even though you’ve probably used a jiffy john before. It’s no fun traipsing through the cold and literally freezing your butt off  just to take care of business. Maybe you have gone camping and roughed it a couple days, but I bet you had toilet paper with you. Whoever thought up toilet paper was a genius.

There are many things that make our life so much easier and I’m very grateful for each and every one of them, but toilet paper is unique. You can do a search and find out all kinds of trivia and facts about toilet paper. I found some of it interesting reading and I’ll be forever grateful to Joseph C. Gayetty of New York for producing the first packaged toilet paper in the U.S. in 1857, brilliant man.
