Lunchtime reading

Uh oh...I'm in trouble. Read this article courtesy of USA Today.

I measured...I use like three arms length worth but if properly balled up, I can get three uses out of it. I guess it works out even despite that meaning I would have to keep waving my hand under the dispenser to get more. I hope it works quietly so the person next to me can't hear the motor of the dispenser constantly going.

I disagree with this comment though:
"Most people will take the amount given," says Thorne. Waxing philosophical, he adds, "People generally in life will take what you give them."

In cases like this, I am "more, more, more..gimme, gimme, gimme...I need, I need, I need."

Nothing like shit on the hands so I would probably wave my hands under the thing two or three times just to be on the safe side. Besides, they use John Wayne toilet paper. You know... rough and tough and doesn't take shit from anybody. :)

And it's probably only .5 ply.

I see the problem already--you're a crumpler, not a folder.

And motorized toilet rolls? I've never seen one.

You'd love the public bathrooms in Russia. You have to buy the paper, by the square, ahead of time. Like you can predict..."Oh, yeah, this is going to be a big one, give me three arm's worth..."

I always overbought thinking I'd rather spend an extra two cents than get caught short.

I never knew there was an "Away from the home toilet paper market." There must be too many economists around to be tracking that one.
