Thread Name: BS: Do people steal toilet paper?
Subject: RE: BS: Do people steal toilet paper?
When participating in Civil War reenactments in most locales PortaLets are the only facilities available. Sometimes they are not serviced as regulalrly as one would like and consequently run out of necessaary supplies. Several rolls of extra paper are a standeard commodity in our camp gear. Since our unit is an Artillery unit we are usually situated on the 'outskirts' of most camps, nearer the facilities than most others. When paper ran out in one of them one of our troops once posted a sign in the Portalet that paper was for sale for a nickel a sheet in our camp! We actualy had folks offering to buy whole rolls of paper from us! (Being fellow campers, we supplied them at no charge of course) Sure could be a lucrative business, rip off all the rolls in the johns and sell them to whoever needs them!!
