Wonderful history! I cannot imagine using pottery shards and certainly not the Roman communal sponges!

With the video being 14 minutes in length, clear it was developed for a 30 minute TV slot. I wonder who the advertisers would be!

And, the store shelves are still short of supply.

The History Guy is Youtube based. I watch a lot of his stuff. I just watched a great piece on Josephine Earp.

In these times of TP shortage, I want to relate a method that my Dad and Uncle put forth, mostly when they were deep in their cups. Take one sheet, one only. Fold into quarters. Tear a small hole in the center. The index finger goes thru the small hole in the sheet and then used to clean up the "area". The little torn out piece? That is used to clean your fingernail. Yes, very deep in their cups !

A family story that has been passed down now to my grandkids, who think their great grandfather was nuts.
