The most insignificant question ever asked on DU

[BlueJazz]

Yeah..this rates right up there with "What color is your Cat" but...

I've noticed that
Toilet Paper is cut into these little squares about 4 inches long.
I don't think anybody uses one little square to "Wipe" Themselves..
..or at least if they do..Don't ask me to ever shake your hand. (Ack!)
Why don't they just make the damn things about a foot long!

Idiot question over...

[Deja Q]

1. Or why make them 2-ply even?

How about 10-ply? Yeah, that's the ticket! :eyes:

:rofl:

[TammyLittlenut]

2. Good question...

and I know a few cheapskates who can tell you exactly how to make that one little square go a long way. :-)

[Shell Beau]

3. Actually, that is a good question!

[billyskank]

4. And why do hotels fold the first piece into a triangle shape

Like, it doesn't need to look nice, people, given what I'm going to do with it!

[SOteric]

5. What difference does it make? That stuff

never tears where it's perferated anyway. :shrug:

[DS1]

6. Actually it was.... and the envelope please

Which way does your toilet paper go on the roller?

By Yit, U.S.A.

[DS1]

7. However, to answer your question

I've known people that have sold each ply for 25 cents, and of course one is useless, so the people he was selling to forked over a couple bucks a pop.

8. My grandmother, true story...

Use to make us take three sheets, fold them over, refold them and use again.....

See what the depression did to that generation.....

Look what we have to look forward too.....

9. Thank God my grandmother never did that to me! Not even my mom!

Although if someone had suggested it to her, she might very well have! Oh God, the scarring of my little soul...can you imagine?

:scared:

[WCGreen]

10. Yea but when they died, they gae all 14

grandkids about 20k for college

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. Ah...well then...that does put

a much better slant to it, then...It was certainly worth it!
