you forgot the price or else, like Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca who claimed he came to Morocco 'for the waters', was misinformed. They go for 9-10-11-12 pesos depending upon where you are in the Philippines. 12 is the top price ordinary Filipinos would expect to pay, day to day, for a single tube of toilet roll (though they always call it 'tissue'. and never mention any toilet). Saris close to places in tourist areas where there are lots of foreigners, might charge 20, but 40 is just totally ridiculous. No Filipino would pay even 20 for tissue.

You truly are, the master of toilet paper...
Good idea on the hand sanitizer, you probably saved yourself from a nice case of pink eye.

And yes, 7 times out of 10, it is the wife that done it.

watch out for the overcharging in the saris near places where there are lots of foreigners, they overcharge subtly, not by too much but it is still overcharging. 20 instead of 12 for tissue paper may not be totally ridiculous like 40 is, but it is still overcharging.

you can also buy those small alcohol bottles. They're cheaper than the hand sanitizer but don't forget to bring a bottle of lotion as they might dry your hands a bit. FYI they also now have whitening lotions in compact sizes.

J. Paul Getty. He was an oil tycoon once considered the richest man in the world. He had a pay phone installed in his house because he felt his guests were taking advantage of him using his phone for long distance calls

He once took a group of business associates to a London restaurant. Getty,at the time the worlds richest man noticed that there was a pianist playing and asked the maitre d' if there was a cover charge for the music. He was informed that there was a small charge per head and asked when the pianist stopped playing. 9.30 he was told.It was 9.15 so he told the maitre d' to prepare the table and inform him when the band had stopped playing. He then waited outside with his entourage in the pouring rain for 15 minutes!
He was describes as a man who knew the price of everything but the value of nothing
