A start-up company has begun selling reproduced Twitter feeds on rolls of toilet paper.

Collector’s Edition has a product called S*****r that allows customers to print their Twitter feeds, timelines, favorite tweets or print their favorite celebrity’s tweets on four rolls of paper for $35 according to a story in the Los Angeles Times.

The product is printed by a company in Illinois and is the brainchild of three Australians and a Canadian.

The first orders were taken Wednesday and the first batch of printings have already sold out, David Gillespie, one of the company’s founders, said.

“If we make people smile, we feel we’ve done our job,” he said in a published report.

The first customers can expect to receive their products by the end of next week, Gillespie said.

BROWNSTOWN TWP. — Two women had a knockdown, drag-out fight in the parking lot of an adult novelty store after a misunderstanding.

The incident occurred at about 8 p.m. Dec. 7 at Adam & Eve, 22772 West Road.

A store employee told police several young men came into the store and became disruptive. She asked to see the boys’ identification and they began screaming profanities at her as they were being put out of the store.

According to a police report, the employee followed the juveniles to the parking lot and exchanged words with them.

While in the parking lot, the employee told police she suddenly heard a woman screaming profanities at her from a nearby apartment complex. A witness said the resident was yelling at the employee from her apartment window.

The report said the employee began yelling back at the resident, called her a name and told her to come into the parking lot.

It wasn’t long before the resident came out of her apartment complex and into the store’s parking lot, where the two women began slugging it out.

The employee, 27, said the resident, 32, assaulted her by grabbing her and scratching her face. According to the report, she put the resident in a headlock during the fight and told another employee to call 911.

The two were separated by another store employee and the resident’s brother, but the exchange of derogatory words continued and the woman began fighting again.

The report said they eventually were separated and the resident added a few threats before going back to her apartment.
