Re: Friday Jokes
A German, an Italian, a Frenchman, and an Englishmen are debating philosophy.
The question arises over the course of their debates: What separates man from the animals?
"Technology," says the German. "Other creatures have tools, yet none can match the heights of engineering we have accomplished. It is our industry that separates us from the beasts."
"I disagree," announces the Italian. "It is our food. The creatures of the wild eat, but they do not cook. Humans on the other hand, create amazing dishes and new combination that make eating a most enjoyable experience."
"I say it's art," decides the Frenchman. "No other being can create art. From our earliest days we have painted, and now we sculpt, write and compose as well. The wild animals cannot ever know what it is like to cry over a beautiful piece of art."
All three now look towards the Englishman, expecting his answer. He takes a long sip of tea before answering.

Greta invited the Chinese to give up using chopsticks to save trees!
The Chinese have called on her and her friends to go back to school, where they will learn that chopsticks are made from bamboo, Bamboo is grass!
The Chinese invited Greta and her friends to stop wiping their butt with toilet paper, because it's made from trees! "

Re: Friday Jokes
And sugar cane stalks once the sugar has been extracted from them, (known as bagasse). Trees are not such a big constituent in paper-making any more. A lot of toilet tissue is actually made from recycled paper and board, with just long-fibred pulp to give it some strength, but try not to think of that next time you're using it!llondel wrote: ↑Tue Mar 31, 2020 8:09 pmYou can apparently get toilet paper made from bamboo too.ricardian wrote: ↑Tue Mar 31, 2020 12:58 pmGreta invited the Chinese to give up using chopsticks to save trees!

Re: Friday Jokes
And don't forget that the modern-day Greeks actually recycle toilet paper because their sewers are not designed for anything other than faeces.

Bamboo fibre socks are very comfortable and supposedly healthy wearing compared with artificial fibres.
Whether you wish to botty wipe, post-wear but pre-wash, is a philosophical question only you and your psychotherapist will address?

Re: Friday Jokes
Reminds me of a story in Iran just after the Shah was overthrown.
Toilet paper was in desperately short supply and one lady accidentally dropped a new roll in the bath. Not wishing to lose it she took it outside, unrolled it carefully on the lawn to allow it to dry.
Her neighbour looked over the fence:
"Where do you buy reusable toilet paper?"

You can make paper out of elephant droppings. Now that is real recycling. Elephant ***** toilet paper. ESTP. A few here including RiS and Reddo will know what that stands for. All the same *****.
