Good one. Is there anymore is the question today? I hope so. Maybe you need to order a bidet so you won't need much. Just air dry. Our daughter got my husband one and it was not expensive but it sprang a leak once and it had to be replaced. Sara

Congrats on your win, Tom. And congrats on getting me to comprehend what a blinking senyru wotsit is. Just for future reference though... have you never wondered why so many people buy ‘The Sun’ or the ‘Daily Star’? Funny & familiar, well done. Terry

Tom, In the days before TP, Groucho Marx said his family was partial to using the Morning World or the Herald Tribune. But they're out of print. May I suggest the New York Times? -Richard
