A brief history of the bog roll

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

American pioneers would use dried corn cobs to wipe their arses, other popular materials were leaves, handfuls of straw and seashells (what the fuck!).

Incidentally the use of paper for anal cleanliness originated in China, what they give with one hand they taketh away with the other.

Clearly the future of toilet roll is to be a form of currency once the viral apocalypse has brought the world to the brink of extinction.

Sadly not - I’ll be forced to resort to kitchen roll soon and after that, Flash Wipes (my poor arsehole is in for a rough ride!)

God we miss toilet roll. We remember the days when you could buy it in shops. The kids of tomorrow won’t believe us. Pasta? Don’t even go there

Joseph Gayetty is credited with patenting the first commercially available toilet paper in 1857. Gayettys Medicated Paper was sold in packs of flat sheets watermarked with the inventors name.

I wondered why the corn on the cobs has sold out too.

.....and this is where the expression, ‘Getting the wrong of the stick.’ originates from

With the way things are going it looks like bog roll could be confined to the anals of history.

Funny thing is, someone said the other day that if you stood on some dog shit, or even put your finger through the paper when using bog roll, you would not be happy with just wiping it off on a bit of paper ..... so why are you happy doing only this on your arse??

well, it made me think
