Pickles by Brian Crane for December 11, 2016

could be a continuation of yesterday

I always keep a package of toilet paper in the bathroom under the sink – saves time, and I don’t have to get off the toilet to get a new roll.

How about when they (the male of the house) leaves one or two squares on it so they won’t have to change it because it’s not all used up? As if 2 squares is good for anything! This is another flapping offense and Opal ought to give Earl a good flapping.

Next Sunday: Loose end over the top vs. under the roll.

If he is that lazy then don’t replace it just get one as you need it from a roll yourself.

When I was about 12 years old (back in the ‘60s), I went to a big wedding of a cousin that lived in Seattle. I can remember being at my Uncle’s home as he was telling a young woman (teenager about 17 or 18) who had just left the bathroom that the walls are rather thin and he couldn’t help overhearing that she used a bit too much toilet paper. I never saw anyone’s face go to bright red so fast! He was quite the kidder.

Ahh the “American” way; ALWAYS finding something to argue about!! “CAN’T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?”

" Good Idea, sweetie, why don’t you just do that?"

(and then she hit me)

As long as it’s there I don’t care which way it hangs……….always have a spare within reach :-)

She’s really the Toilet Paper Fairy.

My girlfriend will never put a new roll on the spindle. She will just set it on top of the old one. The height of laziness! But boy, if I leave the toilet seat up I’ll never hear the end of it!

An unsolicited service that comes free of charge at annoyingly frequent intervals.

Retribution for Friday’s foot-fanny fracas?

I can’t believe a woman like Opal doesn’t have a shitty kitty- a wooden cat with a stick that holds 4 or 5 rolls of TP. I couldn’t imagine having to go out to the linen closet any time we ran out.

Maybe that lecture would serve a purpose if Grandma also whacked Grandpa on the head with a newspaper.

Archie Bunker schooled Meathead about the over/under rule.

And maybe their grandson did it.

This is a lot of comments for Pickles. I can’t believe how many discussions and arguments we have over, of all things, toilet paper.

A life rule: Never use a bathroom, toilet stall, etc., for the purpose for which it is intended without first checking that there is toilet paper available.

Sarcasm is a great motivator for me. If my wife addressed me like that, it would be a long, long time before I ever changed another toilet paper roll.

We have a saying in my country….. “Always look out for number #1 before you start number #2”

I am a male and prefer my toilet seat down. Though I have no pets.

Just because it was such a good comment on this topic, I’m going to re-post Steve L’s link from yesterday. Don’t miss it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swCHkzsu2Og

I don’t usually agree with Opal but in this case I do. However, Opal it would be much easier if you kept some rolls of TP under the sink in the bathroom.

I’m a single male who always replaces the toilet roll — do I need counseling?

…as for actually cleaning the toilet if you made a royal mess, that skill seems unavailable to men, also.

Reminds me of a little book I saw a couple of months ago called If I Get Hit by a Bus Tomorrow, Here’s How You Change a Roll of Toilet Paper.

TP under the sink, at least two rolls on the back of the toilet, and here’s a little secret for an emergency: that cardboard tube can be used to wipe yourself!
