Are we sure that was tobacco they were rolling? I mean they were known to have a few "visions" after smoking.
What was the greatest thing BEFORE sliced bread?

I think I remember seeing you there but I was all about eating metts and getting moody with hudy.
I missed the earlier night games like the 1880 exhibition but they didn't count in the standings so who cares?

Heh, heh, heh... nice try, but it pre-dated sliced bread! According to Wikipedia:
"The use of paper for hygiene has been recorded in China in the 6th century AD, with specifically manufactured toilet paper being mass-produced in the 14th century. Modern commercial toilet paper originated in the 19th century, with a patent for roll-based dispensers being made in 1883..."
Before that, they probably used day-old sliced bread
Uh, silly me. I thought the question was "What was the greatest thing BEFORE sliced bread?
OP
Aarrrgghhh... I sit corrected. That WAS in fact the question, and I subsequently shot down a couple of valid answers. Obviously senility is setting in....
We now return you to your regular programming without contributing further misleading drivel.
(Actually, I wasn't so much asking the question as posting an interesting article, but given the way I titled it, what I asked is what I got!)
Too many things that would get me tossed off of here if I mentioned them.
Whiskey and wild women.

OH THE MEMORIES.
I remember thinking my neighbors father was a genius when he opened his Rheingold cans with the (then new) electric can opener, turning the can into a glass.
And, after that:

I hated S&R catalogs. "John Wayne toilet paper" din't take "stuff" off of nobody. Besides the ink smeared things, and my Mom always tore out the pages with female models displaying items of interest to a young boy.
