Striking Paper?

[Bob Haas]

Hi, folks,

This evening, a friend of mine asked me about the term "striking paper,"
which her boyfriend recently told her is a euphemism for toilet paper.  I've
never heard it, but he says that it's a common usage in the south.  Can
anyone help me out there?  What's the history?
