Cuba Running Out of Toilet Paper.

Reuters.

It's "back to the future" in Cuba...using the Communist Party daily newspaper "Granma"...as toilet paper!

In 1997, I was visiting a friend in Santa Clara. He was a full professor of Engineering at the University of Santa Clara..and his monthly salary was about...$11 USD per month!

I especially remember his casa's bathroom. It was DISGUSTING! But not by choice. You had to fill a bucket to flush the toilet...and the only choice for toilet paper was using strips of the newspaper "Granma."

After that trip, I always remembered to buy half a dozen rolls of the plushest toilet paper I could find...to use...and give away as gifts.
