Stan, these are interesting comments about Romania, and what they don't
have. And you are right, they don't have much. There are a few exports.
I stopped in at the local barbeque shack a shot time ago. The owner had
just gotten back from Romania. He was glad to be out of there and back
home. He said to me "You won't beleive how much of nothing they have
there. Oh, they do have a few things...... "" and he reaches under his
counter and hands me an object that appears to be a roll of toilet
paiper. he continued saying, " I brought some of this back just to show.
Go ahead and take this roll. Look there!" I did look, twice - maybe
three times. Nastiest looking toilet paper roll I ever saw.... pee
yellow with some brown stains in it. I looked at the guy. I 'm sure i
had a funny look on my face. He said to me " Yep, that's just what you
think it is. They recycle used toilet paper over there!!!"

Gross!!!

Spare me from Romainia.
