Hi Russ,

Methinks I know of that toilet paper you mention.  Back in 1980, my Son and
I were walking thru the park in London heading to see Buckingham Palace.  A
pigeon flying over, NOT having any of that paper at his/her disposal, let
droppings fly which landed on my forehead and ran down my cheek, while more
splattered my jacket.  Headed for the park's public toilet to clean up and
was met with what seemed to be the worst paper in the world.  Non absorbent,
slick and ruff!

Headed out to find the Queen to tell her to give up some jewels and purchase
decent paper, but we were sidetracked by some guards who were stiffer than
the darn paper!  *Grin*

It must be perfect for wrapping the small specimens as you suggest.
