Never notice the difference in size in a "classic" two-holer???? One hole was for the broader of beam adults, while the smaller one was for the smaller tykes, so Mom didn't have to fish them out when they slipped. |

According to Nevada Barr, the Park Service just keeps the seat next to the heater, and whoever needs to use it takes it out and brings it back. |

... Robatoy wrote in news:3a7f2f1f-2977-4bc6-a46d- : Do not use TP to blow your nose for any extended period of time during a cold, you'll end up looking like WC Fields. Your Dutch heritage shows. I remember Dutch TP as about 80 grit. Ouch ... The UK variety used to be incredibly slick. Not really what one looks for in a TP ... -- If your name is No, I voted for you - more than once ... |
