The Great T.P. Conspiracy?

[pacifickarma]

So, I was sitting on the throne this afternoon absent mindedly looking at the roll of toilet paper in front of me, when it hit me - why are the squares perforated the way they are? As it is, I almost always use two squares at a time, but I think that I could easily get by with 1.5 squares. So, I thought why are the rolls perforated the way they are? If 1.5 squares would be a sufficient amount, why not perforate the rolls accordingly? Then it occurred to me, it's a conspiracy to make us use more T.P. than we actually need! Anyone else ever think deep thoughts while in the reading room?

So much scatological material in the threads this week.

2 squares? Seriously?

Wow.

everything i have read says that the perforations dont suggest that as being a single sheet but just a way for you to choose how much or little you want....

I think that they are just perforated into perfect 4x4 squares for convenience

What the do you mean you could "get by with 1.5 squares"? You only use a sheet and a half of toilet paper to wipe your ass? I easily grab 10-15 at a time, and generally make more than one pass at it. If I tried a sheet and half, I'd be using my hand for the rest.

1.5 squares? Really? I've never actually checked but I'm ballparking that I need at least 7-8 squares minimum.

you must have a smurf ass or something 1.5 sheets isnt much. hell most women use more than that on their cooch. you must have magic tp or something i figure most folks go through a roll or 2 a week depenping on what they ate. or is it that you have one of those toilets that washes your ass out and you only use the few sheets for drying?

OP has skid truck tread marks in his underwear if all he uses is 2 squares.

I think the OP meant 1.5 at a time.

I use about seven two-ply sheets, wrapping them all the way around my fingers before each pass- Because keeping $#^& of my fingers is more important than trees.

Of course that's what I meant! Who could wipe all of their business with just 1.5 sheets total?
