THE GREAT WIPE HYPE: Iowa Town Urges Citizens To 'Wipe Local.' As In Their Butts. With Toilet Paper.

Community leaders in Eldridge, Iowa are encouraging their citizens to use locally-purchased toilet paper when they do their business in a campaign called Shop, Stay and Wipe Local - bringing all new meaning to "meddling in their business." Though interfering with the public's TP-buying habits may sound like a desperate attempt to keep their town from becoming the next Detroit, supposedly, this change could keep more than 600 thousand dollars in their city. Keeping your butt clean is expensive, folks.
