The Great TP Struggle

Some of you have heard me complain about this before. But here it is again. Women are physically incapable of correctly placing a new roll of toilet paper on the spindle. Look at the picture above. Perfect. It is very likely that this roll was placed on the spindle by a man. Men know that the roll must be oriented so that the loose end comes over the top and hangs away from the wall. It is the only way to ward against frustration and expletives when trying to go potty at night and not disturb anyone. Placing the roll so that the loose end is delivered right next to the wall will insure that time will be wasted trying to grasp the poorly oriented end when it is needed most. My wife and daughters still do not know how to affix a roll of TP correctly. It must amuse them to no end to know that I am constantly correcting their mistakes.

    One problem with your theory. You’ve been in both bathrooms here. Which one always has the roll on the floor and which one always has the roll on the spindle?

    My lawyer has advised me to say “no comment”.
