If you have a cat, then you may have learned why TP should not be oriented in such a way that a cat clawing at it could pull the entire roll off the reel.

Don't believe me?

You'd be surprised, Arnie, but I have heard some mighty passionate and mostly irrational arguments from both sides. (The thing I was most amazed at the first time I visited the UK in the mid-'70s was the "hygienic" TP that was basically like wax paper.)


Ceci n'est pas un seing.

I've heard that kind of TP referred to as "John Wayne" paper: It don't take no s**t off nobody!

Why do we call it toilet paper? Hygenic paper I understand, but toilet? Seems awfully euphamistic.

We have a cat and a dog and we'd not think of under.

Z is right about the passion, and I, too, remember hearing that it was the most controversial subject in Ann Landers' column.

Of course, I can't imagine anyone hanging it under, unless of course you can guarantee that your wall is sterile. Think of a McDonald's restaurant or an airport...really, you'd use toilet paper that has been in contact with the wall there? Ugh!
