TP and SC

As Ms. Crow is jetting all over the US of A speaking out for the environment (and burning more fossil fuel in an month than I will use in my lifetime), she has come up with some great ideas.

Here's one.

Crow said: (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.

Now, before you get all angry about our Senators and Congresspersons, passing legislation on how many toilet paper squares a person could use (don't worry, I have an idea for 10 ply TP that would allow for using only one square), you need to keep in mind that one of Al Gore's legacies was the low volume flushing toilet which, you have probably noticed, can only handle one square of TP.

Mr. D., years ago, started calling our toilets the Algore. Just a little Monday morning FYI for you.
