So, does anyone have any ideas as to new _roles_ for toilet paper? Apparently the old one isn't sufficient anymore :-)
Well, the second most common role for toilet paper has been petty vandalism of neighbors' houses. (Years ago a friend of mine TPed all the houses on his block *except that of someone he didn't like*. Rather devious, that.)
But you know the question hints at whole new regions of possible activism, starting with PETtp.
I mean, consider that the TP you use was probably a "battery roll" -- something kept confined in a suffocating layer of cellophane, squeezed mercilessly to evaluate its tenderness, and then liberated briefly only to be caged in a dim, mildew-smelling space away from light and in conditions of dubious sanitation.
And, of course, once it's finally let into the light, it's impaled and left hanging, then flensed gradually, tissue-layer by tissue-layer, and what happens next is something you wouldn't want your worst enemy to experience.
I say it's about time the roles for toilet paper were changed. Burn Mr. Whipple in effigy! Please don't USE the Charmin! Wipe out the oppressors!
