Toilet Paper

C-GPME · Post by **C-GPME** » Fri Jan 20, 2006 7:11 am

Just curious to the way people like to put the toilet paper in the holder. Because if you put it so the end comes out at the top and you fold it over then you get the rough side up. Which isn't good at all. I like to put it so the end comes out at the bottom, this way when you fold it over you have the soft fluffy side up, which is good for everyone involved.

Cheers

Kids like to mess around with the roll when it's on the wall. That is why I put it on to unroll from the bottom. That way, any toddlers within an arms reach have a harder time unrolling it onto the floor.

C-GPME, I guess it depends on whick way you fold !

I believe if you check the CAR's 705, Tranport Canada specifies how it's supposed to to come off the roll on the BIG AIRLINES. Failure to obey this rule can result in your tolet operating privileges being revoked.
Major airlines pay close attention to this sort of stuff because it saves big money on upholstery cleaning.

C-GPME you were paying close attention to the "ink" thread I see.

You know what really grinds my gears? Some toilet paper in public washrooms is really thin, sometimes only half a ply. Then you need about 10 feet of it just to get enough to do the job. That really grinds my gears.

Why would you take a dump in a public washroom......

There is nothing worse then having a finger poke through...I try to avoid public washroom T.P. as much as possible.

Finger pokage will definatly ruin your day. Going back to the pubic restroom. The only thing worse than having diareia is tring to have it quitely in a public restroom.

I've heard that men tend to over-roll (the kids' favourite way), and women tend to under roll (where the TP is closer to the wall).

That's all I have to say about that.

I much prefered the old Eaton's catalogue. It was much stiffer so it scraped out the old clingers much better. Especially in winter in the unheated little house house out behind the big house. With a real deluxe two holer, you had a choice of an Eaton's catalogue in one stall and a Simpson's catalogue in the other. Now, the real pro was one who could do a dump in -35 temperatures and tell the difference between catalogues. Anyone ever had to shovel their way out to the toitey in snow up to the armpits, with a slight case of diahrea? Now that seperated the men from the real men.

for those of you sans toilette on board, how many of you carry your own roll for those behind-the-fuel-tank movements?
drip dry, freeze, the options are endless... it really "depends" on the situation..bwa ha ha... depends, get it?...bwa ha...buh... never mind...i am in silly mood...

Doesn't matter which way it is loaded, because I crumple it into a big toilet-plugging ball.

I spent two years in a job where I was working 12 hour days...far, far away from anything resembling a toilet. I learned a coupla things about "emergencies"

#1. Carry at least a half-roll all the time. Put it in a ziploc in your bag.

#2. Before you squat in four feet of snow, take the time to tromp around in a circle to pack down the snow. This gives you two benefits - a bit of privacy in your squat if someone wanders by, and not getting your long johns full of snow when you pull them back up.

#3. Always allow extra time to perform the steps in lesson #2.

#4. If you had mexican for dinner last night (or he camp cook doesn't believe in rinsing all the soap off his dishes) and your half-roll from lesson #1 isn't going the distance, those "tighty whitey" liner gloves that you see at Mark's Work Wearhouse actually make pretty good wiping material if you double them over. This means that you don't have to use your brand-new merino wool thermal socks.

My overhand vs. underhand preference doesn't matter. My girlfriend's arms are too short to reach the TP hanger on the wall, so the roll just sits on the sink next to the toilet anyways.

Good story Oldtimer but, did you start wiping with the back pages of the catalogue or the front pages?

A buddy of mine has an outhouse at his camp just south of YQT. He fashioned a toilet seat from styrofoam. Even at -40 it's warm to the touch. Try it, it's simply amazing.

I cannot believe that a topic on toilet paper has already had over 600 views!
... And, I've actually found myself reading the replies more than once.

Oh well, it still beats some of the stupid pissing contests going on in some other threads around here. Hey, wait a "pissing contest" - I was able to make a toilet reference here. Wow!

Touring an old "wild west town" rebuilt, I took a look in the outhouse. On the wall was two tin-cans with cobs of corn in them with different coloring. Beside them hang a big sign: : "Please use the red one first, then the white one. Thank you" Along ways from here, where 3 ply TP is the norm

What if you use $50 bills to wipe your ass? Do you put Mackenzie King's face up or the "Famous Five"?

Never buy cheap toilet paper. Your ass will always thank you!
