From 'News of the Weird':

A company in California has started to market "camouflage toilet paper" for use
in the woods and plans to run testimonials from hunters who claim they have been
shot at while using ordinary toilet paper (by hunters who mistook them for
white-tailed deer).

    It's true , there are some "hunters" that shouldn't be in the woods.
    Something move in the bush an boom!!!!!!!!! Last year or so a deer hunter in a TREE stand was shot for a squirrel........But I think the camo paper is just for sales........If its camo hunters buy it.....I know this first hand..........

    One of my cousins works in a DAs office, and told me about a case that was being prosecuted.
    Two guys were in the woods BOWHUNTING, one guy was in a tree stand. They both heard each other making noise, and the guy who was in the brush shot at movement-which was in a tree-they were hunting deer. He shot the guy in the tree stand, the tree guy fell out of the tree, and laid there screaming. The other hunter went over to help him, asking him "where did you get shot?"
    "I GOT HIT IN THE BALLS!!" the guy screamed.
    Sure enough, there was an arrow going through his testicles, and out his buttocks. The other hunter pulled it out for him, right through his buttocks!
    There is a lesson here; Always wear a cup when you are out hunting.

    My Dad has two rolls for real outdoorsmen! Yep made out of hand picked straw! Packaged in a camo colored plastic wrapper.
    Made in Cali. Doubles as horse food!

    Of course I can play the piano, as long as it has pedals!

    That stuff has been around for ages! Back when I still was hunting deer (20+ years ago), I picked up some of the camo stuff just so I wouldn't be waving white around in the woods. Never was shot at while I was tending to business, but twice in other circumstances. This was before Hunter Safety was required for a license in NH; but I decided that twice was the only two times I'd give the amateurs a chance at my carcass. And they were amateurs - GD city-dwelling flatlander POS up from Bahston to play Hawkeye. Which doesn't count the idiot who saw me in the woods and asked me why his shells (.30-06) wouldn't fit his rifle (.30-30) . . . he'd figured they would have less recoil (6 power versus 30 power - after all, they were .30 caliber!) and where he was new to hunting, he didn't want to be hurt. True story, I swear.
