For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don't want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That's ludicrous!

That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use "less" when they should use "fewer"

I don't think anyone should fight you on that. It's true and it's delicious.

Pour a bucket of sugar in it and its delicious dirty leaf water. (I'm not a southerner, but a southerner friend introduced me to sweet tea)
