I saw an American guy drink from the bidet in France.

He was like “look! there is a water fountain in the room!”

If you got crap on your hands, would you just smear it around with some paper or wash? The Asians have got this right. (Photo from Amazon.com)

With 1 sheet? No normal person on earth, except for the excrement lovers, would dare to do so.

"Here there's a shortage of everything — butter, sugar, flour," she said. But the latest shortage is particularly worrisome "because there always used to be toilet paper."

Yup. Another success story for Communism/Socialism! Where nobody's happy until everyone's unhappy!

Ain’t socialism wonderful?

Same results no matter on which continent it is tried.

I used to take toilet paper & light bulbs from Kenya to UN personnel working in Tanzania, home of Nyerere’s African Socialism. Many other, less critical, items were also unavailable there.
