a roll of toilet paper, are made of hundred smaller pieces. These are called in Danish "ark". Unfortunately I did not know what their name was in English

The only word I can come up with is sheets

I should have used that word instead...that's my problem sometimes...change language in my head=think English when writing here on our forum.

But your toilet system may have problems when you flush paper towels

After doing that, you could then gargle, and finally drink it. Some advisor told me it works.

Well that explains why when, I 'covenant' with my arse in my 'privy chamber', I have an underlying concept of the 'ark royal'....

I spoke to my mate up the road today (on the phone of course) and told him we were about to run out. "Get yourself a little white dog" he said... "maybe put it on a stick"

"My mother-in-law has three rabbits" I said... "perhaps I could borrow them"

Then I said I wondered whether Pets At Home might soon find they'd got no rabbits left:

"We've got birds... guinea Pigs... but no rabbits... wonder why?"

This is an old Eddy Murphy joke:

One fine day, a bear was walking through the woods when he met a rabbit.
"Hey rabbit, I was wondering if I could ask to you a question?"
"No problem" says the rabbit. "Shoot".

"Well, do you have problems with #### sticking to your fur?"

"No. I've never had a problem with that."

So the bear wiped his ### with the rabbit.

About 2 weeks ago I was halve way through my last role. I kept forgetting to get a new pack of roles for a few days at the time the TP-hording started getting in the news. Perhaps luckily because I live in a part of the Netherlands where Corona still isn't at large, the racks were still reasonably full. I was just in time (before our Prime Minister declared restrictions for large gatherings) because it was empty a few days later. Now I hope stocks will replenish when the 'end is neigh'.
