Sheryl Crow wants to limit the use of toilet paper to "one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required."

Obviously, she's never had hemorrhoids.

I wonder how this will be enforced...

I think Sheryl has severely underestimated the inpredictability factor of the human digestive system.

She really doesn't know her feces.

What world is she living in?!

Look, I'm all for being good stewards but...

ONE SQUARE!?!?.....

ONE SQUARE?!?!

Once upon a time (no, this is not a fairy story!) when I was doing my impoverished camping through Europe thing, I found myself needing to visit the "Ladies" somewhere in Austria (no, it wasn't my only stop for the entire trip) and on entering the little stand-apart concrete building, I was greeted by a very plump woman guarding the entrance. She was there to dish out one's ration of loo paper. Clearly she was some kind of conservationist. My allocation was exactly ONE SQUARE. I jest not! Luckily, I already had my own roll of it, having already encountered the effect of foreign micro-organisms on the digestive system.

Do these people honestly expect you to manage with just one square? And it wasn't even 2 ply, and certainly not "quilted" or printed with poetry as the stuff is that our supermarket sells.

Judah, your tp has poetry on it? Now I see where you get your flair.

Oh my goodness, I think you are right, FFC.
It comes from spending too long in the loo !!

Back in the fifties I spent my summers in northern Vermont. I bet Sheryl would have loved their means of economizing, they really did use old catalogues. Also out in the fields and woods a renewable resource was a broad leafed plant called burdock.

I have sometimes wondered how earlier societies dealt with the natural requirements of being human.

So what's the problem?

Oh, that is so wrong on so many levels.

Yes, but it is economical too.. Just think of it as being another way to cut the cheese..

This thread has really gone down the crapper.

A friend of mine has provided the solution. It should make both Sheryl Crow and Rosie O'Donnell happy.
