Toilet paper

[magnatom]

Apparently the average American (US) uses 57 sheets of toilet paper a day!!

 

[numbnuts]

that's a lot of shoot

Someone should tear them off a strip.

In France I spotted 'training toilet rolls' for youngsters with the sheets being numbered in blocks of four: 1-4 i.e. it encouraged the use of four sheets at a time. I am still bemused that a company felt that there was a need for such stuff and that there was a market for it.

My brother lives in Michigan and from the amount of food he eats I'd say that that's a conservative number.

Saw something on this on "Dom Jolly's Happy Hour" They were saying that Americans tend to "scrumple" where europeans fold, hence using less paper.

4 sheets is optimum;

1 up
1 down
1 across

& the final sheets to polish !

I thought it was 'Wipe, lube, wipe, wipe, wipe'?

LOL! I think you may have been a little confused in applying the Mickle method....

 

[TheDoctor]

Mickle has a method for wiping ones arse?
Jeezus. Is there nothing he doesn't know?

Personally I prefer the full strip down method.

In the Army, you are issued with one piece of bog paper.

A 1-in square is removed from the centre. Don't throw away the removed piece.

Poke middle finger throught hole and do the necessary. Fold paper aound finger, clean and throw away.

The 1-in square of paper? Fold into four and with resulting sharp point, clean finger nail.

Job done.

I used to bring my own toilet paper to "camp" (army cadets) for that very reason

And here's the method being demonstrated! Safe for the squeamish!

Not that I am a vegetarian, but given the amount of red meat the Americans allegedly eat, I am suprised they go daily.

Or is this an average calculated on the amount they use during their single weekly visit?

My apologies to our American cousins.
