Hi, Bea, welcome.
Yes, you're right.
Toilet paper was invented in 1902 in Green Bay.
But it wasn't until 1935 that they could advertise it as being splinter free.
People around the world would use leaves, newspaper and even corn cobs before this and the Romans often used a communal sponge. (some of which have survived to this day. )

Oh, yes, presumably is was rinsed and squeezed out between users.
In Morocco, the majority still use their left hands and water, even those who have modern toilets.No paper, sometimes a towel to dry your hands on, but rarely.
If you supply paper many will use it and put it in the bin, not down the loo.

Paul McCartney recorded an ultra sonic whistle at the end specifically for his dog, although any dog could hear it. :p

I think you should give yourself points for having heard of the song, Adam! I thought I had heard of almost all the Beatles' songs, but I never heard of that one before (I tripped over it while googling for animal trivia questions!)

Goody, but actually wifey loves The Beatles and plays the Sergeant Pepper album often.
I'll give myself 2 points if that's ok and 1 for wifey.

And points to you for an interesting answer.

I need a flouroscopy exam, a soft tissue neck series and a decubitis abdomen. You never know when patients are going to come in with them so you have to be on your toes. Except for the flouro, you have to have a radiologist for those so you make an appointment. But it's only at hospitals and DAYTIME. So I'll get that next rotation which is next week. Hope to be done by the end of September with exams! Clears up a lot of time to study while at clinic
