Off Topic: Toilet Paper

[Evan3]

Hmmm, On the rare occasions I am in a house lucky enough to afford toilet paper (dont forget I live at college) I prefer it from the BOTTOM

Yes Wycked Nick, I am an apostale of yours ;-)

Here, the in-the-wall holder is in such an awkward place (on the right, back almost to the corner) that you can't reach it with turning sideways or dislocating your shoulder, so we just leave the roll sitting on the radiator. In bathrooms where the holder is in a more acceptable place, I prefer it from the top also. Same with paper towels. Having it come off the bottom just seems backward.

 The Burgomaster:
"The paper MUST come off the top of the roll. It is written in the Bible."

"And thou shalt never let the roll feed from the bottom."  1 Lavatories 2:13


Susan:
"And when i'm at someones house who has it from the bottom - I switch it."

I do the same thing.

I once seen somewhere an arrangement for toilet paper that came out the middle. A roll on top that dispensed from the bottom and the roll on the bottom that dispensed from the top causing a two ply middle dispension. I always thought it stupid , but after reading these post I can now look back at the genius of the thing.

What I meant in my earlier post is that how do we know we have purchased enough PT for the amount of food we have purchased?

I want to thank ASHTHECAT for occuping my day and memories of things once forgotten. I'm voting this post as post of the year in January.

If toilet paper can meet in the middle, why can Democrats and Republicans?

[Fearless Freep]

Poltically speaking, Democrats and Republicans are not really that different.

Strange how a topic on toilet paper can suddenly turn into a discusion on politics.

My wife just reminded me that I don't technically hang the roll over the top. I prefer it that way, but I usually don't bother to hang a new roll. It sits on the counter. Come to think of it, that's better than over or under.

[Neville]

Over the bottom, of course. I mean, is there actually any other way?

[The Burgomaster]

The first draft of the screenplay for Stallone's movie "Over the Top" was actually about toilet paper . . . but they ended up changing it to arm-wrestling.

Other movies about toilet paper and bowel movements include:

* PAPER MOON

* RUN SILENT, RUN DEEP

* GOLDFINGER

* THE SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS

* CHITTY-CHITTY BANG-BANG

* M*A*S*H

* THE BLOB

..and Zebediah did go unto Jedediah and did tell him that he shall maketh number 2, and 2 shall be the number of the making. And Zebediah did go forth after making of the 2 and did roll the rump ribbon from on high, and he saw that it was good...
