Stop Me Before I Wipe Again!
Jewish World Review ^ | April 24, 2007 | Michael Graham

Posted on 04/24/2007 4:35:08 AM PDT by suspects

"I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting...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." — Musician/climatologist Sheryl Crow.

Dear Gaia, Mother Earth, Giver of All Life,

I'm sorry. I had no idea.

There I was, in the bathroom rolling out the Charmin like it was going out of style, and all the time I was killing you. And I didn't even know it.

To be honest, until I heard environmental expert Sheryl Crow speak out on the subject, it had never dawned on me to "count the squares."

When I think "destroying the Earth," I think giant meteors, solar flares, or maybe a tear in the space-time continuum if Rosie O'Donnell and Michael Moore ever mated. But toilet paper?

Who knew that the future of the entire planet would come down to the question "one ply or two?"

I didn't think. I didn't care. Not like Sheryl does.

(By the way, Earth Mother, do you happen to know if Sheryl is one of those rock stars who throws her underwear into the crowd? Yikes.)

Will he now say "Ladies, please don't use the Charmin!"?

Even Rosie thinks this is insane.

Lord! Crow had stepped in it so deep she will need more than one square herself.

I wonder if she is so insulated from the public and surrounded by syncopants that she is unaware of how totally stupid she sounds.

How about us guys?

Three out of four visits, I don't use ANY.

Does that mean I get a TP Offset credit, and get to use four sheets on my next #2 visit?

Maybe we could try and figure out how to use “the three seashells”.

I once read that before TeePee the outhouse was equipped with a stick for wiping. At night, in the dark there was always the chance that you might pick up the stick by the "wrong" end. Thus the term "short end of the stick" came into usage for those situations where the outcome was shitty!

I wonder how many carbon credits and sequestrian sanity this activity will earn me?

Think Algorge's mansion is equipped with sticks???

“I once read that before TeePee the outhouse was equipped with a stick for wiping.”

Actually I believe it was a bare corn cob, which when dried out is fairly soft.

Corn for ethanol and the cob for wiping, and you thought corn was for eating only. LOL

Cheryl would argue that we should use seaweed.

Excellent!

It's time for other celebs to step up and let us know what their bathroom habits involve.

You can bet Stinky Crow doesn’t wipe with one square, as if it mattered. Most TP is recyled/Earth Neutral anyway.

... if I recycled, I could pay higher taxes (recycling is far more expensive than regular trash collection) to have my old beer bottles driven across country in a diesel truck...

Ha! Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Kramer & Newman fill up his post office van with recycled cans to drive over the state border and cash in on the deposit/refund difference.

But, seriously, I've always wondered what females do with toilet paper and where it all goes. I've never seen a household product used up so quickly. So maybe if females could get toilet paper use under one roll per day per female, then the planet could be saved!!! (/sarc)

On the local TV news this morning they were laughing at her and this stupid idea. It was a great spot. Still believe that when in the public spotlight and people start laughing at you, you have lost.
