[div style="font-style: italic;"]This reminds me of a time I was stuck in a washroom stall, that had no toilet paper.  There was nobody else in there, so I was trying to catch the attention of anybody who might be walking by.  I felt rather foolish yelling at the top of my lungs whilst sitting on the throne.  [img style="cursor: pointer;" onclick="url(this.src);" src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/liebe/g038.gif[/img][/div] [div style="font-style: italic;"] [/div] [div style="font-style: italic;"]I yelled for quite some time to no avail.  I finally ripped the lining out of my brand new purse.

Well, I know this sounds strange, but in my backpack which I always travel with (think airports in africa), I carry those travel wet wipes.. Like in this instance you never know when you will find no TP. I insist that Starfishie has a pack in her purse for emergencies.

I'm a slow learner.  I just make sure I buy purses with softer lining now.

use dollar bills...... I did many years ago.  I forgor how much it eventually ended costing me

[P.C.]

  Aside from being far too frugal for that, the thought of icky money touching my .......nether regions icks me out.

  I'd have sat there until somebody decided they'd better call the police/ambulance/fire department or all three, before I would use money.

  Unfortunately our dollar is a coin! The smallest bill is a $5, and that gets expensive. Cheaper to use a pr of Costco jeans.[/DIV]

 If I have to do it again today, I just use my underwear.  A package of 10 Costco's Kirklands brand briefs cost under $10

 I got stuck in a bathroom once.  In the lobby of the hospital.  The doorknob broke off in my hand, and I was trapped inside the room.  Started yelling.

I've just been reading that in the middle ages, when paper was only for the privileged, moss was used.

There are several things which are not supposed to be talked about in polite company - but what exactly IS  polite company? And how do I recognise it?

lets see now

anyone you have known intimately or for more than 1 year or some one your completely comfortable farting out loud in the presence of means they are impolite company... so pretty much any topic is fine to talk to them about... soo that would mean ...

anyone you do not know intimately or someone who is new to you. would have to be considered polite company

I hope that helps when next u decide to discuss your ribald party days and the time you threw up all over the neighbors cat...
