A wee bit of toilet humour for the day

The Diary was wondering whether to send Madonna and Guy Ritchie a belated wedding present. But what do you buy the couple that has everything?

Kimberly-Clark, the makers of Kleenex products, came up with the perfect gift. It shipped two rolls of toilet paper to Dornoch Cathedral in Scotland for the big occasion on December 22.

The reason? According to the BBC, the minister performing the ceremony has a tradition of giving the bride and the groom a roll of toilet paper as a gift. The Kleenex Cottonelle toilet paper brand chosen for the happy day even featured the symbol of a wedding ring.

The minister, Rev Susan Brown, seems to approve. She says: “The toilet roll is long and strong, which is what I hope their marriage will be”.
