Thursday, 3/23

Wow. I guess it really IS a big deal to some people!

I received a whole bunch of notes following yesterday's blog about which way the toilet paper is supposed to go. It seems like people are either an “under” or an “over”. There are very few of us who just shrug our shoulders and let the toilet paper lie where it may.

Who knew?

Daily blog reader Connie in Marquette says that she's an “under” married to an “over”, and that she's been trying to train him for over 10 years now to put a new roll up the “proper” way. He obviously must not be a very good learner, either, because Connie says “she's still working on it”. Of course, Connie's dealing with her husband, someone who actually lives in the house. Daily blog reader Glen in South Dakota says that he's had house guests change the roll when they use his bathroom while visiting.

That's taking the whole matter a little too seriously, isn't it?

Several of you also noticed a plethora of stories about The Great Toilet Paper Controversy on the internet, and sent along links. Daily blog reader daily blog reader Jody from Marquette actually found an entire website that's devoted to the whole controversy.

And just as a side thought to Jody's website (and its domain name), isn't “www.professortoilet.com” perhaps the greatest web domain name in history? If nothing else, it certainly describes a large chunk of what you'll find on the Internet.

I'm just sayin'!

So I guess this is just a controversy that's existed for years, and will probably be around for as long as the human species exists (or at least as long as the human species uses items like toiler paper). Don't worry, though; I won't judge. It doesn't matter to me if you're an under or an over. I'll like you no matter what.

Promise!
