My son has told me why before the invention of toilet paper.... people wiped their rears with their left hand. And if they shook arms with their left arms, they would grab each other's arms above the left hand Great addition as well 5 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to beat a dead horse. But to show the importance of this invention was the recent run on TP in this great nation of ours when the virus first broke out.

Had to do a family tree back in the day and traced it back somehow. Problem is my brain and science doesn't work. Never has never will. I told my science teacher about him for a project and you would think I split the atom. He was in shock....and I'm like Mr. Paulson do I get a B or not for my grade. The guy died a century and a half before my time....doesn't do a whole lot for me. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
