Did you know that toilet paper is an American invention that dates to the first part of the 1800's?
In 1850, it was sold in huge industrial size rolls. Prior to the invention of toilet paper people used old catalogs and papers, cloth rags, left hand, smooth stone, leaves, or just water. The invention of toilet paper is less than two hundred years old. Perhaps a greater advance for civilization than electricity, internal combustion, movie film, radio and television, or computer networking.
And we rarely talk about it.
