Gave my cubicle mates quite a laugh tonight, reading to them from the London Times online, how the Germans count the amount of toilet paper their troops use in the loo--8 million rolls, or, as the headline put it, ten rolls per man, per day!
Which leaves one to wonder, just what do the Germans put in their winer schnitzel?
Seems the troops used to have drilled into them, "I will not go anywhere without my toilet paper!" Or something similar. Good advice--not sure if it's up there with "Keep your head down when they're dropping the bombs," but good advice, nonetheless.
"But wait!" The official German toilet paper counter says, "That figure's not quite right--that was 8 million SHEETS, not rolls! Ohh--and, we have to take into account that some of those rolls were three-ply. Ah. Great way to--erm, cover yer bottom, there, Mr.TP counter!
I wonder how this guy handles cocktail parties? "What do you do, for a living?" Good thing he's not in the states--some rolls here, are four-ply quilted! 
"Say--Sargent Schultz, is that a winer schnitzel in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?"
