Sounds like what Americans used to say about the old Soviet System and their
toilet paper.

Subject: [Futurework] Spare a square?

 

Is it supposed to be economical to pay an attendant to stand around
dispensing rations of toilet paper? Another expensive way to shame and
intimidate the masses into conservation, is more like it.

Robin Williams, Man of the Year: "Politicians are a lot like diapers; they
should be changed frequently, and for the same reasons."

Hey buddy, can you spare a square? 

The city is so hard up for cash that it's rationing toilet paper in women's
public restrooms -- to the point where bathroom attendants are doling out a
few measly squares per patron -- along the world-famous Coney Island
boardwalk. 

The Post witnessed stone-faced Parks Department employees leave toilet-paper
dispensers empty last week and instead force astonished female beachgoers to
form "ration lines" in the bathrooms. 

Regina Ballone, 25, of Brooklyn visited a boardwalk bathroom at West 16th
Street Wednesday and was "grossed out" at the thought of someone else
handling her toilet paper.

NO MORE! Regina Ballone (above) and Brittny Harrison can't believe workers
are rationing toilet paper.

"Never in my life have I experienced anything like this," she said. "I
walked toward a stall, and a bathroom attendant stopped me by shouting,
'Hey, mami! There's no toilet paper here,' and she whipped out a big roll
for me to grab some." 

Beachgoers also have been forced to line up for their paltry allotment of
the city's cheap, single-ply toilet paper at the boardwalk's other women's
restroom at Stillwell Avenue.
