Tissue Paper question

[PetalumaLoco]

Anyone else remember this?

The Toilet Paper Shortage of 1973.

And you thought the oil embargo of the same year was tough...

NOT ME!!! Un-uh! Never... well... maybe after I've washed the bowl. Perhaps it was one of my 3 trouble making felines!

We just talk about TP; airline PAX actually doo something with it.

I did try it! The plumber agreed on monthly payments for the charge! :huh:

Let's see them use that on board. The roll would take up the entire restroom.

Traveler... skid marks are for underware, the butt of these jokes are for TP! Solution? Buy brown underware!

Scott... TMI? Maybe if you mentioned where you shopped, what you were shopping for and just how much of a supply you were buying.

Strangely enough, I'm going to ask a serious question here . . .

Back in the olden days, when johns flushed directly onto the tracks, was Amtrak as concerned (or even more concerned) about the biodegradability of its TP?

This thread is stating to drive me potty!

Wasn't Amtrak's tracks (except for the NEC), so why should they care? Let UP's tracks get rotted to, er, crap...

Well - there wasn't any Amtrak in those days. Each railroad had passenger and freight on its own tracks.

I remember those days and being able to see the ground speed by when you flushed the commode in the restroom of the car.

I also remember the conductors came through all the cars and locked the restrooms as we approached the stations so no one would flush while in the station.

Many years ago.

It wasn't THAT many years ago! I remember them too - and I'm not an old fogey - like some! :lol:

Yes, in the 50's and 60's, they were UP or NS or Frisco passenger trains, but I don't think Amtrak trains had retention tanks until sometime in the 80's!

I remember being warned not to flush back in 1977 while heading north to NYP from West Palm Beach Florida.

As for looking down and seeing the ground? Well, I see no big problem there, but if I saw someone looking back at me.... well, that would be a different story!

View you'll see looking down from the top! h34r:

View you'll unfortunately see from looking up from the bottom!

View of your face from too much information? :blink:
