Can you spare a square?

The Rest Room World catalog hardly seems a source for consumer holiday gifts. But the Pleasantville, NJ-based company is on a roll with one item: its 2,000-ft. roll of toilet paper. Dick Ojserkis, owner of Ojserkis Janitor Supply, which also publishes the Receptacle World and Maintenance World catalogs, has syndicated columnist Dave Barry to thank for the run on the giant rolls. Barry mentioned the item in his holiday gift guide last year, which was distributed to more than 600 newspapers for publication Thanksgiving weekend. Shortly after, the catalog sold 15 six-roll cases (at $96.75 a pop) to consumers seeking gag holiday gifts. Talk about the gift that keeps on giving!
