'Toilet paper capital of world' prepares for exhibition



A museum in Wisconsin is preparing to open an exhibition charting the history of the toilet and toilet paper.

Privy To The Past: Inside America's Most Private Room has a replica of a sponge ancient Romans used to share.

Green Bay's Neville Museum spokeswoman Marilyn Stasiak says the area is: "The toilet paper capital of the world."

The exhibition tells visitors about how corn cobs, leaves and newspaper came before modern-day toilet paper.

It also shows how toilet paper used to have splinters in it. Ms Stasiak told Ananova: "That would've been very painful."

She added: "We're expecting all kinds of jokes about the exhibition."

Green Bay's Northern Paper Mill is credited with creating modern toilet paper in 1902 but it wasn't until 1935 that toilet paper was advertised as "splinter-free."

The exhibition, which opens on April 27, is sponsored by Georgia Pacific, makers of Quilted Northern Bath Tissue.

What a coincidence, I just got this SPAM email:

Let's talk stools.

 The stool tells you a lot about your colon health.  If it's dark brown in color, and it sinks, and it stinks, that's not good.  And don't feel bad, that's the way most people are.  What you want to see is light brown color, which means it's full of fresh bile from the liver, very mild odor, and a stool that floats.  We're talking low-density here folks.  The more compaction you have the darker the color and the faster it sinks.  Compaction is not good. Also, moving bowels should be SIMPLE.  If the veins are popping out of your neck and you feel like your doing the bench press, you NEED to cleanse your colon.

 When you do the cleanse, for the first few days....things are a little weird. But you know you're cleansed when you see the above good stuff happening, and you are eliminating at least 2-3 times per day.

Cleansing your colon is a 30-day process.  Its also very economical at $43.00.   You may be very surprised at some of the benefits you will receive besides just losing 1-5 lbs of cr*p from your body and brightening your future health.

People have reported more energy, less allergies, clearing of acne, cessation of migraines, and many other results, not to mention restored regularity.   When your body is void of old, poisonous toxins that are constantly being reabsorbed through the colon walls, it can begin to heal again.   And when the colon walls are clean, the good nutrients from your food and supplements can be absorbed again.  You will be thrilled with the results. 

At this point you are either nauseated thinking about what is inside your own colon, or you're ready to do something about cleaning it out. 

Want more info? Click here and I'll send it to you, including instructions on how to take it.    And yes, I have taken it myself.

I got it on good authority, in fact no less than Willie Nelson himself, that Elvis' final words were, "Corn???..."
