They learned from and emulated the bears (this is when human beings KNEW without a doubt that bears DID shit in the woods).

1. reminds me of this joke
A Rabbit walks up to a bear that's sitting next to a tree. The Bear asks the Rabbit "Excuse me, but do you have a problem with shit sticking on your fur?", the Rabbit, thinking for a moment, replies "No, not at all".

So the Bear picks up the rabbit, and wipes his ass with him.

7. How could you tell someone was rich in the old days?
Their outhouse was a two-seater!

9. My daughter was an exchange student in Pune for a year...
believe it or not, she got used to using these.

I was sending her toilet paper at first, but
she asked me to stop sending it after the first
couple of months...she only took some with her
on trips.

(She's VERY environmentally sound, my daughter....)

10. A poem
In days of old, when knights were bold,
And paper not invented,
They wiped the ass with blades of grass
And walked away contented.

There's another verse, but we'd best skip it.

My mom grew up on a farm, and she said they knew it was time for a new Eaton's catalog to arrive because they'd be down to just the shiny pages.
