Funny you should mention that...

TOO MUCH INFORMATION

The place:- BALCO power station, India.

The problems:- Bog paper is in short supply and very expensive and the
screaming ****s are a regular occurrence.

The coincidence:-A large crate containing all our performance test equipment
for two Turbine performance tests had sat at Calcutta in the monsoon after
being opened by customs for inspection... 50lbs of HP Thinkjet printer paper
gone wrinkly due to getting wet.

The solution:- HP Thinkjet printer paper, when cut into half sheets and well
crumpled, makes excellent bog paper. Very strong. Quite soft and _much_ better
than nothing!

We did try photocopier paper, It wasn't nice.
