Ever tried getting a piece of toiler paper wet with water, and then wiping something? Notice how it immediately breaks apart? That's because it's designed to get all squishy and slushy when it gets wet, and thus be easier to flush.

I can faintly remember being in some third rate toilet in some third world country where there was a sign saying something like "please put the toilet paper in the bin", but I flushed it anyway. I mean... just eww! o_O
