You can't depend on finding toilet paper everywhere. You can't even depend on finding recognizable toilets everywhere. The minute you leave "western" civilization, you will quickly discover that considerably more than half the world uses some variant of the squat toilet. These can range from quite modern fixtures to what amounts to an open pit (when on safari in some desert, you likely won't find toilets at all). If you're unfamiliar with the use of squat toilets, your first encounter can be a daunting one indeed! Advance practice is highly recommended.
Briefly, pants are rolled up to the knees, and the upper part, along with underpants, lowered to the knees (you don't want them around your ankles!). Items capable of falling are best removed beforehand; retrieving them will likely be impractical. You squat by first bending the upper part of your body forward (to maintain balance), then lower yourself by bending your legs, coming to rest quite naturally (and comfortably) on your haunches and legs. Reverse to rise.
Aim is more important in squat toilets than in sit toilets, so don't fire indiscriminately.
Cleaning up in most places will likely not involve toilet paper, unless you brought your own. This is done using a (probably nearby) container to bring water to your waiting left hand, which will splash it on the appropriate areas.
If you do use paper, do not deposit it in the toilet (unless there's no plumbing involved), or you will probably clog the pipes. There is likely to be a wastebasket handy: the soiled paper goes there. Yes, really.

The Good Husband
Very nice story from MASTERCARD :D
Jack wakes up with a huge hangover after attending his company's Party. Jack is not normally a drinker, but the drinks didn't taste like alcohol at all. He didn't even remember how he got home from the party. As bad as he was feeling, he wondered if he did something wrong.
Jack had to force himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins next to a glass of water on the side table. And, next to them, a single red rose!! Jack sits up and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed.
He looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order, spotlessly clean. So is the rest of the house. He takes the aspirins, cringes when he sees a huge black eye staring back at him in the bathroom mirror. Then he notices a note hanging on the corner of the mirror written in red with little hearts on it and a kiss mark from his wife in lipstick: "Honey, breakfast is on the stove, I left early to get groceries to make you your favorite dinner tonight. I love you, darling! Love, Jillian"
He stumbles to the kitchen and sure enough, there is hot breakfast, steaming hot coffee and the morning newspaper. His 16 year old son is also at the table, eating. Jack asks, "Son.. what happened last night?"
"Well, you came home after 3 A.M., drunk and out of your mind You fell over the coffee table and broke it, and then you puked in the hallway, and got that black eye when you ran into the door. Confused, he asked his son, "So, why is everything in such perfect order and so clean? I have a rose, and breakfast is on the table waiting for me??"
His son replies, "Oh THAT... Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and When she tried to take your pants off, you screamed, "Leave me alone, I'm married!!"
