anyone ever heard these?

One story I've heard from several old timers is they were only allowed to use one square of toilet paper per BM. Heard this from several different people. How do you crap and use one square of toilet paper?

this is wrong. 2 squares.

square 1: put your finger through the middle of it and wipe all up your butt. then pull the tissue off with as much poop as possible.

dispose.

square 2: clean up whats left on your butt.

I wouldn't use a napkin, I would eat slower, and more carefully.

My grandpa said his brothers and himself would spend days straightening out nails on the railroad tracks with rocks. Then sell them so they could help buy food.

My Pop used to tell us that he worked picking up Tung nuts for $.50 a day.

I guess that was true?
