They're doing some great things with TP these days. My son's girlfriend
buys some brand that's soft and fluffy and strong. I don't know what
brand but it's amazing stuff. Too bad I'm cheap and will buy warehouse
paper for $20 a case.

I'm not about to use coffee filters for TP either. Toilet paper has no
binding agents which causes it to dissolve in water and is therefor
called "flushable." Coffee filters are flushable in the sense that they
can be flushed down the toilet. One could say my socks are flushable
too. In fact, there's probably all kinds of stuff that's flushable that
we haven't thought of.

OTOH, if the North Koreans fly a nuke to these island, we might be using
filters for TP - that's OK, something tells me we ain't gonna be making
much coffee. :-)
