Actually, I think he still used the catalogs even after toilet paper was invented. He had an outhouse, I kid you not. He lived far out in the country and didn't have plumbing or electric. He got his water from a pump, and used Coleman lanterns for lighting.KChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10300302671699284234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12206171.post-36847180643879022052007-04-27T14:23:00.000-05:002007-04-27T14:23:00.000-05:002007-04-27T14:23:00.000-05:00Have you seen that Erol Morris documentary about the electric chair?<BR/><BR/>Can't think of the name, and don't have the time to look it up, but it's really good.<BR/><BR/>Great stuff, as always.ajoojahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09575904083933131458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12206171.post-23133520553834042672007-04-27T10:22:00.000-05:002007-04-27T10:22:00.000-05:002007-04-27T10:22:00.000-05:00What did they use to wipe before?angel, jr.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05144019552337738621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12206171.post-8305075504106487302007-04-27T10:17:00.000-05:002007-04-27T10:17:00.000-05:002007-04-27T10:17:00.000-05:00Before toilet paper was invented they used either old scraps of paper, bibles, books or birch bark. <BR/><BR/>Ever wonder where all those books, flyers and other paper items went?
