    Over the roll or under?

    Discussion in 'The Lounge' started by OctagonalPhantasm, Jul 18, 2020.

    I think we need to have a serious conversation about a very hot topic: toilet paper.

    Are you an over the roll person and do you like being wrong? Or do you count yourself among the elite, under the roll folks?

    Bet you can guess which crowd I roll with!

    If there are cats in the house, the choice is no longer in human hands.

    Over.

    Late edit:
    Over means shorter grab distance which means more time efficient. Time is money. Money is toilet paper.

    Where cushions are comfy, and straps hold firm.
    I guess among some, I being an over the roll person, am some kind of savage. :p

    Though there is an actual explanation for either.
    (Which is really weird from the fact there is some technicality for both). o_O

    Then there is the Chaos Barbarian that probably just uses the entire roll,
    skipping the orientation issue entirely. :p

    I don't even understand the question. What the hell does 'over / under the roll' mean??

    5000 years ago, the Egyptians invented toilet paper. Less than 100 years ago, we used a stick.
    We're never just going to get over ourselves, are we?
    I have a solution, but you'll have to wait 5000 years until I can tell you. :D

    Ah, so that's where the phrase 'like shit of a stick' comes from. That's seriously eco friendly (reusable?? :eek:). Has to be better to use a stick than chopping down all those trees. :D

    No, it's where 'Wrong end of the stick' comes from.
