I just came across this on my hard drive. I wrote it years ago when our church seemed to be using toilet paper far more quickly than we would have expected.

Toilet Tissue Issues

We have had a few problems over recent weeks with the amount of toilet paper being used. Unless we get a fresh, new supply of paper in the next few weeks, we will have to consider the imposition of restrictions.

In the meantime, we would ask all users to review the amount of paper they are using in the course of their duties.

For your information, here is a copy of the official Schedule of Restrictions.
