    They used peat moss, grass, and pages from books.

    There might even still be some people out there somewhere, who still have outhouses and use Sear's Catalogs... There were a few left, when I was a kid.

    If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them,

    is it a "odd" or a "end"?

    also during Queen Victoria's reign, they believed that too much sexual thought was what made men lazy and not good workers. There was many, many patents to keep a man from being aroused and they all look extremely painful! To voluntarily atach something to yer penis that will stick pins (or worse!) in it if you start to get an erection, wtf!
