Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for April 09, 2019

Unders

One push backwards and the Under will simply start to unravel!

It will be a battle to the finish !

It’ll be a tearable struggle and it won’t be over until the paperwork is done.

Go, man, go,

But not like a yoyo schoolboy.

Just play it cool, boy,

Real cool.

Excellent gag! Could have made it more interesting with male on the left, female on the right.

It does not matter who wins, they all end up smeared with…sh…

I vote for the butt shower!

They wiped each other out…

Over, if you don’t have a cat who could be a problem.

Hard to guess who’ll win…

they’ve both been on a roll lately.

I wish they would all just hang around, each someplace where they’re appreciated,

instead of having to square off.

But their backs are to the wall….

Cos that’s the way they roll… loyal right down to the core.

I saw a great cartoon a few years ago. Four panels, the first two were labelled “over” and “under” and showed toilet paper mounted that way. The third said “sideways”, with the roll on end, standing on the little rod. The fourth had no paper at all and was labelled “kids”

According to the patent filed for toilet paper, over is what is presented.

Over.

We’ve had that discussion here and we’re in agreement. She said.

There’s going to be a battle Royale…

There’s gonna be a rumble tonight…

Next round: Single or two-ply!

What’s the over-under if I want to place a bet?

The overs do not stand a chance with a cat.

“Over, under, sideways, down, / Backwards, forwards, square & round, / When will it end…”

They all look rough and tough to me. I’m not using any of ’em.

This is only my opinion, I don’t care as long as it is there.

Overs… that’s how I “roll”…

Over is easier to grab and it keeps fingers/fingernails away from the wall or back of the holder, if you have a recessed one.

Nuts to that: OVER all the way. Doesn’t get stuck!

I prefer over

Now if there’s a thunderstorm, there will be zero winners … just a lumpy mass of wood pulp . . LOL

In the end, it was a wipeout.

Let’s look at it from a pure ergonomics perspective. When it is over it is a few inches or more depending on the size of the Roll closer to you. Thus every time you grab some paper from an over roll you are expanding less energy than an under roll. End of story!

Either way goes over the top to hang down. You should say front or back. As others have noted, with cats or toddlers around go with back.

Ah, so the neverending battle continues…

I’m surprised the Overs even made it to the corner without slimming down. Or perhaps they were an advance party of the Unders who stopped and flipped their faces?

At least you didn’t add further controversy by making one side blue and the other side red…

Over is easier to use but under is necessary if you have young kids or pets who like to unroll.

I can’t seem to get the surfing tune Wipe Out out of my head!! :>)

As long as it the job done, I don’t care anymore.

What a sh!tty subject for a cartoon!

Soft enough to avoid abrasions and firm enough not to leave cellulose suppositories.

If it is on a spindle that sticks out from the wall, it should be ‘over’, so that you can easily find the end, and easily pull it out. If it is on a spindle that swings out from the wall, and you have it ‘over’, it will jam against the wall when you pull on it. If it is ‘under’, even though you can’t see the end, you can use you finger tips to make it feed off the back (per Archie Bunker). So, it depends on the type of spindle you have. UNLESS!! you have a cat, and in the first situation it is very easy for the cat to unwind the whole roll. In this exception, if you reverse it, then it will bind against the wall, and thwart the playful kitty!

First World problems.

Who’s taking bets? What’s the over/under?

Their numbers seem evenly matched, unless one side can persuade a few members of the other side to flip.

Don’t make me come over there!

The over-ies or the und-ies

Over. Definitely over

I don’t actually mind either way, but here it looks like the unders may trip on their tails.

Overs, obviously to the most casual observing mathematician.
