   Tee hee! I lived in a Community House in Seminary (7 seminary students, Co-Ed, sharing a large home) and we had an ongoing “theological” argument about which way the toilet paper roll should lay.

   My memory says that good protestants believe in grace, and grace “rolls over” us in abundance. Thus the toilet paper roll should roll down front!

   Tee hee… or TP?

   That is the question.

   I just have nothing to say to this. I have never, ever in my life examined toilet paper this closely.

   Did I mention I was asked to do another 24 hour pee test? (To make sure the Non-Problem stays a Non-Problem. Sigh.)

   So I have lots of time to ponder this.

   Another 24 hour pee test, RM? That explains it–hormones gone wild, RM stuck in the potty meditating on the TP. Bless your heart!

   There is no debate on this topic…My mother showed me as a child that if you hang it the other way, when you do the “one handed rip” the roll keeps going unless it is rolls forward as opposed to backwards.

   Your position MUST be right, beause in all things domestic, Mom’s generally right.

   Have you given it the true test by turning it so the tp is rolling towards the back.
   I, for one, prefer it the way you have it. However, there are those that doubt and you must prove.

   BTW, I thought the only true TP was Scott….

   Thank you for giving me a much needed laugh at the end of a very long day that hasn’t really ended yet…and yes, you’re right, that IS the proper way for the TP roll to be arranged. Otherwise, how would the lovely ladies who clean the bedrooms in the hotels get to make the little triangle-y thing with the beginning sheet to know the bathroom was sanitized for our protection?

    FWIW … we keep the bathroom doors closed, so we don’t have to worry about our two fuzzy faced kids finding a new toy.

    When you are right, you are right.

    If I am ever on trial, I want you to be my lawyer.
