Has anyone ever used just one serrated toilet paper sheet?

Now my depression era Dad would tell you, yes... That they were instructed to tear off a single sheet, fold it in half, and then in half again, tear off the corner in the center, unfold it, put your middle finger through the hole, and accomplish your task... And, so not to be wasteful, use the little part you tore off to clean under your fingernail 🙂

I didn't know if he was kidding or not

I have heard the same story, also use corn cobs. Also the same about the MRE's in the military.

When I first came into the military, they still had the old K Rations...And they did indeed have a napkin/piece of toilet paper...

War is hell...

Prior to Y2K when the world was supposed to end, again, my step-dad bought what seemed like a pallet of brown bag mre's.  I took a lot of them camping or hunting. I never understood how a guy survived on the TP and only 2 cigarettes.  I like the pound cakes. 

This guy has a YouTube channel.  Kinda fits in humor.

At least modern day powdered eggs are no longer green.

Want to know why?

I'll tell you anyway. They add citric acid to prevent the chemical reaction.

I don’t see citric acid listed?

I guess some of those do and some don't. 

The place I worked used it in commercial whole eggs and dried powders.

I think it has to do with those packets that put in to absorb the moisture

THESE ARE ACTUAL COMPLAINTS RECEIVED BY "THOMAS COOK VACATIONS" FROM DISSATISFIED CUSTOMERS:

1. "They should not allow topless sunbathing on the beach. It was very distracting for my husband who just wanted to relax."

2. "On my holiday to Goa in India, I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don't like spicy food."

3. "We went on holiday to Spain and had a problem with the taxi drivers as they were all Spanish."

4. "We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring our own swimsuits and towels. We assumed it would be included in the price."

5. "The beach was too sandy. We had to clean everything when we returned to our room."

6. "We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as white but it was more yellow."

7. "It's lazy of the local shopkeepers in Puerto Vallartato close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during 'siesta' time -- this should be banned."

8. "No-one told us there would be fish in the water. The children were scared."

9. "Although the brochure said that there was a fully equipped kitchen, there was no egg-slicer in the drawers."

10. "I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local convenience store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts."

11. "The roads were uneven and bumpy, so we could not read the local guide book during the bus ride to the resort. Because of this, we were unaware of many things that would have made our holiday more fun."

12. "It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England. It took the Americans only three hours to get home. This seems unfair."

13. "I compared the size of our one-bedroom suite to our friends' three-bedroom and ours was significantly smaller."

14. "The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the resort.' We're trainee hairdressers and we think they knew and made us wait longer for service."

15. "When we were in Spain, there were too many Spanish people there. The receptionist spoke Spanish, the food was Spanish. No one told us that there would be so many foreigners."

16. "We had to line up outside to catch the boat and there was no air-conditioning."

17. "It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly guests before we travel."

18. "I was bitten by a mosquito. The brochure did not mention mosquitoes."

19. "My fiancée and I requested twin-beds when we booked, but instead we were placed in a room with a king bed. We now hold you responsible and want to be re-reimbursed for the fact that I became pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in the room that we booked."

And we wonder why Americans are so despised around the world?

The McDonald's in my community has long been an example of how to not be successful, but this is a new low even for them.
