    Why is the Starship Enterprise like toilet paper?


    They both circle Uranus searching for Klingons.

    If you make a little arrow with the end of the roll (like in those fancy hotels) you just do not have these problems.

    If you use a bidet (like in those fancy French hotels) you just do not have these problems either.

    I lament the passing, those days of yore, when men used newspaper, and butts were sore.

Using this tool will eliminate the sloppiness of the torn edge when cutting lengths to the proper dimension. The scissors may also be used effectively to cut the tissue to a desired width if that is also required.

    Hang on, scissors? why scissors? we all got straight razors lol swoosh and it is done

    Oh come on, EVERYONE knows that you don't use a straight to cut paper

    In answer to the question though, I unroll the outer ply one revolution and this fixes the problem.

    I prefer the free end to hang at the front of the roll, why risk having your wiping hand contact the wall.

    Leaving a sheet or two on a dead roll is rude.

    The epitome of lazy is the guys at work who start a new roll but can't be arsed to put it on the holder properly and instead just balance it on top of the spindle, oh and leave the old middle other the spindle.

    Cat owners unite, From the back! they spin the roll from the front..However there seem to be more perforations later!
