And I miss the sandpaper feel of that toilet paper.

I have a single sheet of TP I swiped from a train in West Germany when I visited in 1986. It is grey, very rough, and you can actually see little wood splinters in it. To be fair, this was public transport TP, the stuff they had in their homes was Charmin quality.

As an American, I vividly recall my first trip to a train station mens bathroom in Europe. As I recall there was one price for a #1 bathroom operation and a higher price for a #2 operation that included a few sheets of that sandpaper TP. Ah, the good old days. LOL.
