Crow (4/19, Springfield, Tenn.): I have spent the better part of this tour trying to come up with easy ways for us all to become a part of the solution to global warming. Although my ideas are in the earliest stages of development, they are, in my mind, worth investigating. One of my favorites is in the area of forest conservation which we heavily rely on for oxygen. I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting. Now, I don't want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required.

How about using soft, luxurious cotton instead of scratchy old toilet paper? We could grow all the cotton we need on "plantations" in the Confederacy south. Of course, cotton is labor intensive, but we could round up a few million illegal aliens as cotton pickers and bale toters.

The dingbat doesn't know that you can plant trees to replace the ones you use.

I guess we should just ignore the fact that paper comes from trees that are planted just like any other crop. If we reduce the amount of paper use, tree farmers will reduce the number of acres planted.

we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit Remind me to NOT shake hands with Ms. Crow.
On the other hand (heh), a "square" in roofing terms is 100 square feet - is that what she means?
That would be plenty for me (except that time I ate at Jack-in-the-box.... oh, never mind..)

A grassroots program is called for. Please send all your corn cobs to Ms Crow. Make sure the corn is removed and the cob dried. Besides, they will work in the outhouse.

Sheryl,
Think on how much paper we’d save if they’d stop printing the Washington Post.
Maybe you should bring that up with your next editorial meeting with them.
To: GeorgiaDawg32
I read the article. I didn’t see the word “satire” anywhere. It must be there somewhere. People can’t really be this stupid can they???

How about sending her your leftover squares?
To: GeorgiaDawg32
One of the callers on Fox & FRiends just stated if she ever meet Crow she is definitely NOT going to shake her hand.

I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting. Now, I don't want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, What sort of "limitation" can you put on somebody, without "robbing" them of their "rights"?
Are you going to make them pay per sheet as they go into your bathroom?
Are you going to count the sheets before and after, and announce the "winner" at the end of the party?
What about women's needs? Do you realize, Ms. Krow, that three quarters of my restroom visits, I don't use ANY paper?
Doesn't that entitle me to a TP offset credit, so that I can take FOUR sheets on my next #2 visit?

Mz. Crow:
Who the **** are you to tell ME how to clean myself?
In your “infinite wisdom” GRASSLANDS put more o2 into the air than trees.
Your pathetic elitism is matched only by your profound ignorance.
Go back to France.
