Rubes by Leigh Rubin for September 23, 2022

Trees are a crop. Does anyone say “Save the cornstalk”?

Even so, it’s better than those disease spreaders that blow all the bacteria and viruses all over the room. One of the reasons I’m happy to have a mask in my pocket these days.

PS: Most paper is made from the parts of the tree that aren’t suitable for turning into lumber… and most paper towels even more so.

I’m the guy who hand wrote that slogan. After I was finished with thousands of rolls, I was really wiped…

Years ago I took ballroom dance classes, and every weekend the studio would host a dance party. A good time to practice what you learned. The teacher would post signs in the Mens room to remind them to wash their hands before rejoining the party. I noticed many men would come in, do their business, and leave immediately!! My lady friends did not like to hear that bit of news!!!

While you’re at it, save the water too! My gosh, he’s got Niagara Falls flowing just to wash his hands!!

Irony much?

More than three trillion trees on earth. Six times as many trees as stars in the Milky Way galaxy.

We buy bamboo paper products. Same price and NO trees. Bamboo grows FAST.

Sure.. and put a whole industry out of work. As someone else commented, trees are a crop that we harvest. Except for the time it takes to grow from seed to harvest, not much different than pumpkins.

Still prefer them over blow dryers. I think most people do.

Paper use, now, SAVES forest. How..? As paper use diminishes, people sell the land that was, once, devoted to turning out wood for paper. Most people ASSUME that it’s just left to go wild, but, no: it gets developed…

Keep germ free in the washroom, then you use that filthy door handle to get out.

Bathrooms are a racket. One hand washes the other.
