no no no.  i'm saying; he has a stack of December 1947 Cosmopolitans in
his bathroom.  when the time comes, he reaches over and grabs one, flips
to page 73, cleans himself up good, then crams the whole thing down into
the toilet hole and flushes it.  when it floats back up to the surface,
he calls it poetic justice.

I don't think he's techno enough to know how to print the story out
onto
toilet paper. And TP is too fragile to roll into a typewriter.
