OFF TOPIC Hi goldsnow, At least those Russians had the papers to wipe themselves clean! Something is always better than nothing! Did you know that about a dozen or so years ago the supermarket shelves in Los Angeles and surrounding areas ran out of toilet paper for several days after Johnny Carson (that famous comedian, now retired) joked that the plumbers were going on strike! The people were so concerned about their rear ends that they rushed out and cleaned out the shelves! Maybe those Russians should keep the extras for an 'emergency'. Richnorth

<<Cash-strapped Russian factory pays workers -- in toilet paper 5.51 a.m. EST (1051 GMT) November 4, 1997 MOSCOW (AP) - Workers at a cash-strapped Russian clock factory who got a bonus needed three days to get the loot home. But the workers didn't feel that much richer because the bonus was paid in toilet paper >> goldsnow-- Paper currency can be so confusing. Someday U.S toilet paper may be the Franklins, Hamiltons, and Grants of today. Scary thought. Buy gold, it is hard to roll it on a cardboard tube. Ben
