Rough paper is still better than some other methods employed throughout history to clean one's bottom!

From another site:

*Hayballs, Scraper/gompf stick kept in container by the privy in the Middle Ages
*Discarded sheep's wool in the Viking Age, England
*Frayed end of an old anchor cable was used by sailing crews from Spain and Portugal
*Medieval Europe - Straw, hay, grass, gompf stick
*Corn cobs, Sears Roebuck catalog, mussel shell, newspaper, leaves, sand - United States
*Water and your left hand, India
*British Lords - pages from a book
*Coconut shells in early Hawaii
*Public Restrooms in Ancient Rome - A sponge soaked in salt water, on the end of a stick
*The Wealthy in Ancient Rome - Wool and Rosewater
*French Royalty - lace, hemp
*Hemp & wool were used by the elite citizens of the world
*Defecating in the river was very common internationally
*Bidet, France
*Snow and Tundra Moss were used by early Eskimos

when my dog was a puppy he LOVED him some toilet paper


I'd come home and the floor in the entire house would be covered in bits and streamers of TP

he also one time ate an entire bowl of hershey kisses leaving the wrappers intact on the floor.

I shall indeed test your hypothesis, then write a thorough academic paper outlining my findings.

I should mention I intend to write my paper on toilet paper, on toilet paper. Is that OK?

Scott 1,000 sheet big rolls. No need 2 replace the roll so often.

charmin plus with aloe vera ... use it once and you will forever know the difference! Even my kids know when I use a cheaper brand....

It IS the correct way.. the amount of times I have stayed at hotels and THEY put it on this way, and fold the end into a little traingle shape

so BYRON!!! YOU ARE WRONG!!!!!

Oh and yes sometimes I turn it around if a friend or family member has put iton the wrong way around

Whatever keeps the baht clean will do.

horatio said:

Aww.. how did he open them?

retina said:

Oh I practically have to shove my arm up those to get the roll rolling so at least 2 or 3 p[ieces come off.. I usually give up and use my own tissues..

Essential Life Lesson #1: Over is Right, Under is Wrong



Put simply, there is a right way to hang the toilet paper, and a wrong way. Read on to determine the status of your own roll.

Toilet paper has a natural curve, a way of being that lends itself to certain orientations on the toilet paper spool.* If handled with skill and knowledge, it can provide an abundance of both sanitation and comfort, quilted together in each square of pillowy ply. If handled with clumsy ignorance, or worse, carelessness, it will beset the user with pain, filth, and frustration. Don’t let it end this way, with you curled on the tile floor of the stall, weeping in frustration, covered in wasted papier de toilette. To convince you, we’ve created some diagrams, harnessing the power of SCIENCE, to demonstrate the natural benefits of the over hanging method. First, we examine the optimal viewing benefits of the over hanging method.

Below are examples of the helpful and fruitful over-hung method on the left and the annoying and detrimental under-hung method on the right.





Notice the dramatic difference in the amount of visible toilet paper. Ironically, it is the over-hung toilet paper that has both the most visible free sheetage and the least amount of sheetage free from the roll to do it. Now, this may not seem like a big deal on its own, but in these extra sheets lies your undoing. Observe. BYRON!!!!!



We here at Current Configuration, for the purposes of ease and expediency, do the one-handed tear (okay, really, it’s just me, but bear with me, er, us). The one-handed tear is a quick maneuver that takes advantage of the perforated squares, allowing your bundle of toilet paper to be liberated with one quick swipe of the arm. This is the foundation of bathroom ease, the cottony bedrock on which enjoyment rests in the restrooms of many nations.



The one-handed tear relies on a quick and forceful motion directed either away from or towards the tear-er. The forces applied in this motion are great and, like the atom, are not to be trifled with. The natural curve of the over-hung method allows the roll to stand fast after a one-handed tear, but the under-hung method creates a calamitous tendency in the roll. This tendency can only lead to this:



Wasted paper, frustration, the destruction of our forests. While we realize that it is possible to execute a one-handed tear on an under-hung roll, this is a game of sanitary Russian roulette. You are bound to lose eventually, and there is no re-rolling an unwound toilet paper roll. The results will only cause you grief. Don’t let this happen to you. Restroom attendants, janitors, maids, facilities crews, and responsible toiletowners take note: Don’t use the under-hung method for your toilet paper rolls. It leads to the destruction of our precious resources and the pillars of civilization as we know it!

I cant believe I actually spent time posting that last post..

you're so wrong
