WELCOME to Thursday June 21, 2012. Did You Know?
The Chinese invented toilet paper in the fourteenth century, and the Bureau of Imperial Supplies began to produce paper
for use by the Chinese emperors However, it wasn’t until 1857 that the first factory-produced toilet paper was made,
by American Joseph Cayetty, who named his product “Therapeutic Paper” and sold it in packs of 500 sheets Cayetty’s
name was printed on each sheet. Before the invention of toilet paper, different areas of the world used many different things Public toilets in ancient Rome provided a moist sponge on the end of a stick, while the wealthy used wool and rosewater In Viking-occupied
England, discarded wool was used, while in the Middle Ages this had been replaced by hay balls.
In Hawaii, meanwhile, coconut husks were used, while the early Eskimos used snow and tundra moss Wealthy people around the world often used hemp and wool, with lace being used by the French royalty British lords used pages from books Poorer people used their hands, grass, stones, moss, seashells or wood shavings, while the use of water was also common around the world In India, the left hand was used to wash with, while in Africa it was the right hand The otherhand in each place was used to greet people, and it was considered rude to offer the incorrect hand In the U S , newspapers and telephone directories were commonly used, as were other books The Old Farmer’s Almanac was actually printed with a hole punched through the corner of each page so that it could be hung in outhouses, and the Sears catalogue was widely used until it was produced with glossy pages, after which its use as a hygiene product became unpopular Corncobs were also used in the United States.
Well that’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a great Thursday people, watch out for that handshake, and whatever you do,
don’t forget to LAUGH IT UP! Peace I am outta here, Eucman!
