The first commercially available toilet roll appeared in 1857 thanks to Joseph Gayetty who sold “Medicated Paper for the Water Closet” which was sold in packs of 500 sheets. A few decades later the first perforated toilet paper rolls appeared on the market in 1890 thanks to the Scott Paper Company of Philadelphia.
It was decades later that the first teenage egyptian realized it was much funnier to TP the pyramid than the guy in it. Now all his friends can see his artistry.

I never did understand why people hoarded TP at the beginning of covid.
Honestly, if you have a sink and a flannel…….

Wife giggles on the bidet.
She says it is because she’s saving money by not buying TP.

The early toilet paper wasn’t 2-ply, nor was it soft and gentle.

He may have incurred the wrath of the “Pharoah”, but it was the wrath of the Pharaoh that really counted.

If somebody horded my toilet paper, they would incur my wrath as well.

Reminds me of those huge, narrow, single-ply rolls in many public restrooms. What a pain in the (usage of said product).
