The
Ins and Outs of Toilet Paper
Getting the job done, is sometimes easier said
By Sandra Lewis
For the guest bath, I buy rolls of Angel Soft MD toilet paper
decorated with the green-stemmed little pink flowers. Two
days ago I tried to unglue the end of a new roll. It was
so stubborn that I had to get my scissors to cut through
several layers in order to get the paper to roll. Carefully
I put the roll back into the holder so that the paper would
properly flow over the roll, (Miss Manners says it works
better than under the roll).
A
few days ago, when I went to use this fine tissue the paper
was flowing under the roll. Horrors! Since I'm one of two
residents, and the other person didn't touch the roll, it
led me to believe we've got an uninvited guest living with
us. Regardless, I quickly re-did the roll and righted this
wrong.
Yesterday,
when I again went to use the tissue I was shocked to find
that the tissue looked pale and almost without any design.
Low and behold I discovered that the flowers were on the
wrong side!
When
I used the tissue today, I noticed that the flowers that
were previously on the outside of the inner layer, now seemed
pale again. I separated the upper and inner layer of the
TP and this time the flowers had reversed to the inside of
the inner layer. My surprise later today was finding the
flowers on the outside of the upper layer...in the correct
position!
I
don't know if I'll ever get to the bottom of this "over
the top" experience. On all fronts (and backs, too),
however, big business will tell you that it's getting the
job done that counts.
