A bona fide offer of marriage, legal entry to Canada, and "permanent resident" status when you get there. And, it is not that easy to get the permanent resident status for a Cuban bride.

No, I meant how much toilet paper, how many bicycles, how many toilet seats to get her out of Cuba?

We always take tp when we “go” on mission trips to Cuba.

A couple of bathroom items about Cuba.

If you drink the water anywhere outside of the tourist hotels, you will need A LOT of toilet paper.

You might find tp but 90%+ of the bathrooms won't have toilet seats.

We were at a church that had very nice and clean bathrooms. No toilet paper but each one had a clip with the official state communist newspaper cut into squares. One of the Cubans asked if I had noticed the tp. He said that Cubans say that it is the only use the paper is worthy of.

I bring some back every time I go. On my last trip I found some of the 25 for $1 cigars the cubans smoke. I bring back coffee too. Don't use either but friends like them.

As did the Romans. The term Mal Dicticta referred to the left hand, the one used to wipe ones butt. If you look at Roman Statues the left hand was always covered.

I don’t know but when her mother left after a visit, he didn’t have any hats or socks.

They’ve always had a tp shortage in Cuba. Every hotel, restaurant, bar you go in has a woman or man sitting right inside the door at a card table. They’ll sell you 5 squares for $1. There’s no tp in any of the stalls. There’s a huge, newer, really nice hotel there. Can’t remember the name but they were the only place that had American style stalls with tp in them.

I haven’t traveled to many places (certainly nowhere outside the Anglosphere), but I wouldn’t even consider a place without TP. I guess this news bit means even the tourists can’t get any now (even the $1 for 5 squares)...

“As did the Romans. The term Mal Dicticta referred to the left hand, the one used to wipe ones butt.”

There are things about the anus and feces that I don’t understand.

For instance the psychology definition of “anal” is “of or relating to the second stage of psychosexual development, during which gratification is derived from the retention or expulsion of feces.”

I never would have thought of that. Freud did.

And then there are people who get gratification from an anus and, I presume, the smell of feces.

I’m obviously naïve.
