Don't shake Sheryl Crow's hand.

Someone already posted a thread about this yesterday, I believe.

That was me. Sure, I want to fight global warming, but she just shot her credibility as a spokesperson in the ass.

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.

If saving the world means walking around with stinky hands and the cranky ass, I'd consider just letting the environment go all to hell.

Since when have law abiding Americans had the God given right to use as much toilet paper as they want?


Also, worst idea ever.

I wonder what the energy-equivilance in toilet paper would be of a Sheryl Cow concert?

I'm sure someone on this forum is into ass. We could recruit people like that to be the ass police.

If I ever saw a law like this pass, I'd be the first one to buy stock in costive drugs like Kaopectate and such.

Wait... a 2-3 square maximum?!

Although I don't think her hands would be overly stinky. She probably uses really plush stuff and has forgotten what the 1 ply in public bathrooms is like. Besides, that is why we wash our hands after going to the potty.

I wash my hands afterwards, but I don't get shit on my hands when wiping.

Also, where did she say it was a law? I thought she said that people were just industrious enough that they could get by with that amount of TP.

yes, and we use ample amounts of TP to keep other areas clean.

seriously, why not just use recycled toilet paper or something? http://www.barbarawood.com/guestbook/images/smilies/sick.gif

maybe not.

Most toilet paper is made of recycled paper, I thought.

I'm pretty sure she's joking.

That being said.. the idea of a dining sleeve on shirts is cool. I mean, come on, who of us here isn't tempted to wipe their nose on their sleeve at least once and a while?

oh for goodness sake, sheryl crows shit dont stink! you should be happy to shake her hand and get a bit of her essense rubbed off onto you.


is anyone else imagining the paper police coming to the door and demanding that you stop using so much tp? how else would a mandated limitation on use be enforced?

I honestly tried to look at it that way, but when she posted about the reality show I came to the unpleasant conclusion that she is just not joking. The only reprieve I can offer is that she may have simply been referring to women who, as you know, need toilet paper for more than one thing. She may have been referring to dropping your kids off at the pookl when she said "except for those times that two or three are needed" which would be the only time it effected men. At least I hope.

They'd more likely make you lease a monitoring device they would claim scans your waste outlet and charge you for overages.


One square... thats a good one.
