    "Stand and Deliver" highwaymen are after your toilet rolls ...

    When it comes right down to it, of what use is a gold bar
    or a diamond necklace when you need to clean a part
    of your anatomy ?

          Okay, here's what we do -- get a few rolls of toilet paper, rub them with habanero peppers, and leave them exposed in our unlocked cars.

              I worked fairly closely with them when I was an adviser.

              Years later, when I was an Training Analyst at General Motors, my company (Hughes Training) had classes for us, where we were supposed to "manufacture" something. I manufactured improvised pull-release booby traps, and some of the other people were a little scared of me afterwards.

                  @ that time was waiting for your clarification to be sure of the actual intent, had figured a type but learned not to assume anything.

                    Cultural Reference,

                    Stand and Deliver is a song by an English Band, (Adam Ant)

                    one of the previous iterations of that band had the hit Dirk Wears White Socks,(song and title of the album) as Adam and the Ants

                      "Stand and Deliver" is a line uttered by Liberty Valiance and I believe this would predate the song...would it not?

                          From an Irish song called "There's Whiskey in the Jar."

                          As I was a-goin' over Gilgarra mountains
                          I met Colonel Pepper and his money he was counting
                          I drew forth my pistol and I rattled my sabre
                          Saying "stand and deliver, for I am a bold deceiver"

                            If you run out of toilet paper you can always use the hot air blower at Target.

                              it would, and a common saying, at one time,


                              however Dogtag is English, and knew what I was referring to,
