A guy I worked with told me that during WW2 he was limited to three sheets of toilet paper. I wonder if that's where this expression came from?

I thought "Three sheets to the wind" was of maritime origin.......

I prefer the term 'Ass Hose' to bum gun...sounds like a tradesman's tool - bum gun - so it does....

I recall the good old days of wafting aroma from night soil on the fields of Taiwan.

 

PooPoo smells, even today, recall fond memories of these good old days.

 

 

You new guys to Asia do not know what you have missed, a world which is now beyond your reach.

 

You now live in a sterile world with machinery that cleans your hole, and then dries it, and then heats it to keep you feeling on top of the world.

 

Years ago, travelling to Asia was like travelling to Asia.

 

But, no more.

 

You will never know as much about Asia, no matter how hard you try, as I.

Just a fact of time moving inevitably forward.

Not your fault.

But you lose out, nevertheless.
