Never go to India :
You eat with your right hand, clean your ass with the left one, and there's no toilet paper. (They only use water to wash their hands).
Sometimes there's no seat as well, just a 10 cm hole.

Heck, water gets you much cleaner. My grandmother was disgusted by the whole concept of toilet paper. As for the asian-style squat toilets -- well, you better have good balance.

Hobbs, I represent the Frickin' Comm-Nazis, and trust me, you want to take a big plate of brownies, or a case of beer, or a twenty dollar bill up or down to his or her office and get an exception made. If it's "his" office, you might just get your pass for free. Regardless, it'll be worth it.

How do you say hubba hubba hubba in french anyway?!

That Alternative Dictionary is a MOST excellent resource.
