an old lady entered,she sat down next to me and started to rustle about in her bag, she pulled out a pile of used tickets and added the new one to the pile,when she looked up and saw me gazing at her, she said very calmly " I collect them, have done for years son. " Biting my tongue, I could only blurt out " interesting hobby ". Has anyone else got such an interesting life ?

All the bending over will keep you in shape.
My life is far less interesting than the woman you've described. I don't ride the bus, so am missing out on those random connections.
As far as collections.....not any more. Now I am trying to get rid of much of the stuff I couldn't live without a few years ago.

I collect rocks. Yes, I do. I have small boulders down to pebbles, including beach glass. When we lived in a small condo in California a few years ago, we had to put my rocks in storage because we had no place to put them. Every time we move, we take my rocks with us. Most of the larger ones I can identify as to where I picked them up and when. Like that big yellow one over there ... picked that one up on the north rim of the Grand Canyon on our honeymoon 33 years ago. And, oh ... see that one with the hole in it? Kaanapali Beach, Maui, about 15 years ago. I tried to take this one home, but the hub wouldn't carry it for me.

Could I suggest that when the dear old soul had enough tickets she glued them together to make toilet paper?
We have a way in Australia to use only one ticket for this purpose but I wont go into details here.

We just fold the ticket long ways tear a small triangle out on the fold line, poke finger through hole,wipe, remove debris by sliding ticket firmly from finger, use triangular piece to clean under the finger nail.
We can use more that one sheet, when I was a young bloke we used torn up news paper. I am thinking as I get older maybe I should only buy 1 roll of dunny paper at a time, don`t want to leave rolls around for someone to fight over.
My stepmother used to make and collect dolls, there were so many another house was purchased to put them in, I drove up for a holiday and stayed in the "doll" house, gave me the horrors with all the eyes at night staring back, and had to cover them up with sheets, I stay in a motel now when I visit
