Toilet Tissue to Tickle Your Toosh

Toilet Tissue to Tickle Your Toosh

9715ebb2.jpg

In a new world order, where cash is becoming strictly off limits and toilet paper is in exponentially increasing demand, perhaps the new currency of choice, for those of us who are feeling flush, will be centred on the bog roll. It appears that it may be time to wipe away our wads of banknotes, or curtail our cracked and crinkly credit cards, and say "all hale" to the 'buttcoin' [thanks to Ian Weinberg

The author of the above, Ken Boddie, besides being a sometime poet and occasional writer, is an enthusiastic photographer, rarely leisure-travelling without his Canon, and loves to interact with other like-minded people with diverse interests.

Ken's three day work week (part time commitment) as a consulting engineer allows him to follow his photography interests, and to plan trips to an ever increasing list of countries and places of scenic beauty and cultural diversity.

Indeed, Claire L Cardwell ... This 'Buttcoin' term seems to inspire us completely, It sums up the value of loo roll quite neatly, But please note, no matter how much it may fit, The brainy Doc Weinberg must take all cred-it. Thanks again, Ian Weinberg. May you leave no 'leaf' unturned in your search for the 'holey' tail. 🤗

A rare clarity. God Bless Oscar Wilde--and you for reminding us.

I suggest that you read John Rylance. It appears that Oscar Wilde had the same sentiment. His reported re-buttal (pun intended) of his critic is in the same vein as yours. Sometimes words can be firmly 'imprinted' in our more remote regions. 🤣😂🤣
Ken Boddie Oh jeesh--just thought of something. Newspapers. In the US, a law was passed authorizing media to be used for propaganda. I truly su** at propaganda. After working on a story for almost 4 months--going back and forth with a news editor--they did something totally different and totally inaccurate. I guess I should have been shocked, but just felt betrayed. I wrote a rebuttal piece and it got okay ratings. But I bought copies of the newspaper carrying their scam piece!! I can cut out the front page and use the rest for butt-wipe in a pinch!!

You could be onto something there, Joyce \ud83d\udc1d Bowen Brand Ambassador @ beBee. But first we need the latest scoop on poop.

Well Mr. Ken Boddie , it has been some time, I just got home from work, and I can't think of a rhyme, I'm well and healthy, not bad for an old guy, Having a few beers, why don't you give it a try? :-) At this point I'm going to say good night, As it was a long drive, due to a cancelled flight, (much to my relief I admit), So I'm off to bed, I bid you "Adieu" With wishes of blessings for you to accrue

Yep, John Rylance, I reckon we’re all flush with bog roll jokes, but are we really on a roll? If the worst comes to the worst, I guess we could always... Wait until it’s vapour, Then light it with a taper. 🤣😂🤣

Hey there, Randy, long time no hear, so ... How’re things with you? No COVID, no flu? I hope you’re still making, Fine meals, perhaps baking? And still finding time, To sip the odd wine But mostly, no caper, I wish you bog paper. 🤗

When all this is said and done, perhaps you should create a reseller site for those of us who wish to have a memento of these troubled times. "Who gives a crap" sounds framable as long as they don't start shutting us down for the ever-present flu. That's a wipe-er-wrap.

There are many toilet roll jokes doing the rounds. My favourite so far. Ran out of toilet paper today, had to use lettuce leaves. Just the tip of the iceberg.

We don’t have those brand names here, Cyndi wilkins, but, cross my butt and hope to die, a very popular brand of recycled bog roll here is called ‘Who gives a crap’. Only in Oz. 🤗

I suggest, Joyce \ud83d\udc1d Bowen Brand Ambassador @ beBee, that those who read in the bathroom have severe anthropogenic internal plumbing problems, not to mention chronic rhinitis. 🤧

Lol! Most popular baby names for the 'corona kids'...Scott and Charmin;-)
Heh--I needed this laugh. You gave me an idea. There are times I give friends bits of my work and tell them they are good "bathroom" reads because "they'll scare the s***" out of you." I think I should probably start printing them on toilet paper--Scott should do--um do. In the realm of "useless" information--did you know that men around the world read in the bathroom? Women usually read s itting elsewhere.

Fatima, if that is indeed your real name, I initially found these inane advert/links of yours to be somewhat tedious, or even laughable (but in a sarcastic way), as they regularly continued to pop up in a large number of comments strings of various of my fellow publishers. But now they are annoyingly popping up on my own posts, and I have concluded that they constitute pure unadulterated spam. Blatant advertising in the comments string of those who take considerable time to put together credible posts, and who subsequently anticipate, or even expect, constructive comments of support in return, are not welcome on this platform, or, I suspect, on any similar social medium platform. I suggest that you take your unwelcome product propositions to a more appropriate mode of advertising. Javier \ud83d\udc1d CR, would you and your team please check out this person or organisation's credibility and membership and, if as I suspect, there is no evidence of intent to participate in beBee.com in the genuine spirit of story telling, publishing and/or contributing to the posts of others, please consider removing their account.

I hadn’t heard of this historic Herald white-out wipeout, Ian Weinberg, although it may explain the many blank expressions on the faces of readers these days. 😉

it reminds me of this attributed to Oscar Wilde. On reading a critic's scathing review in the newspaper of his latest play. Oscar replied as follows, "I am sitting in the smallest room in the house, your review is currently in front of me, it will soon be behind me.

Ken, I sit in awe of a mind that so easily flushes out veritable nonsense. Keep tickling funny bones. Now, go wash that hand!

No butts with this one. Interestingly my daughter in Sydney tells me that one of the daily tabloids left several pages blank in its publication - to supplement shortages of buttcoin. A daily rag notched up its usefulness.
