Thread: TP: toward the wall or away from the wall?

Which, yeah, it kind of is. And for those of us who live in parts of the world that occasionally gets droughts (by which I mean virtually all of us), how much sense does it make to poop in your clean water supply?

Just a thought.

ObOnTopic: Over the top. Unless, as many have said, you have a cat. Then you pull some out of the pile on the floor, cursing at the cat and wondering why you keep feeding it and petting it and cleaning out the poobox. I mean, all you ask is that it keep the spider and fly population down so the sweetie doesn't get too weirded out or demand that you evict a giant eight-legged beasty from the shower at TWO IN THE MORNING when your arachnophobic honey gets up to pee. But no, you have a defective cat who blithely skips past the nest of spiders, stopping only to pat a mouse on the head on its way to the catnip toy before shredding the over-the-top toilet paper roll onto the floor. You know, that kid down the block looks like she wants a cat. It's much better than the burlap sack option that your sociopathic brother recommended last week. You briefly wonder how long it would take the partner to notice the cat missing. Microseconds, probably.

Aww... she's purrin'. That's so adorable!

My wife is from an area where people never eat with their left hand - I guess TP is better than nothing, but I would prefer something more sanitary

TP has its place, but I don't know how we ever got on before the introduction of moist wipes. I was using baby wipes for a long time before J&J caught on. TMI?
