Editor,

During the Sochi Olympics, TV coverage stated that in the barracks where the Olympians stayed and they went to the bath room, there was a pot in front of the commode, as they were not to put any paper down the commode, but in the pot.

I laughed!

Some of us bring mementoes from our trip.

One of mine from Russia was pieces of their rough toilet paper. Maybe we could get Putin to go along with us if we’d send him a shipload of soft two-ply Charmin.
