True, it was not the most appropriate topic of conversation during a meal, but it did strengthen "her" argument with "him" regarding the necessity of a cell phone... however, they both agreed that you were extremely resourceful in time of crisis...

You've given the Boy Scout motto of 'be prepared' a whole new meaning!

If I have time I always look to see if the stall has any paper before I even enter. But it reminds me the first time I was in Japan and rode in a first class train several hundred miles. Along the way I had to go to the toilet. I did that. Inside there was no stool but a slit in the floor and no toilet paper -- but a sink with water and a rag laying on the edge. You squatted over the slit and did your business and it dropped on the speeding stones below. Then you grabbed the rag and wiped with that and washed it out for the next person to use. I still have friends there in Japan and was told that this practice was finally discontnued in 1985 after it was determined that human waste was not good on the railroad tracks and in cities it smelled bad.

You are right. Normally I double check the paper situation before needing the paper, but this was on of those times that didn't allow for the time. :) SE. That only works before attacking a task and not after completing a task. Hi Michael. You are right.

Could there be a double standard in Panama like the USA... Huh? I have walked into mens rooms and been greeted by females walking out.

Counting the cold days in China, longing for the sun of Panama Greetings Michael Hi Don,

a story out of life, Happy New Year,

the roll of toilet paper is a need nearly all over the world, a pack of paper tissues in your trousers pocket makes it complete, it does not help you that much if the cousy roll is in the car.

Counting the cold days in China, longing for the sun of Panama

Greetings

Michael
