The next trip with your A/s might be interesting w/regards to toilet paper:

I saw this on the news today:

"Songstress Sheryl Crow is calling for a limit on toilet paper.

The green minded singer Crow has said a ban on using too much toilet paper should be considered to help the environment, according to the BBC.
In an unheard of celebrity tutorial on mindful Earth friendly tips, Crow suggests using "only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where two to three could be required".
The BBC unearthed this gem of information on her website.
Crow completed a tour while traveling on a biodiesel-powered bus. She teamed up with environmental activist Laurie David for the shows.
"I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting...I have spent the better part of this tour trying to come up with easy ways for us all to become a part of the solution to global warming," Crow wrote reported the BBC.
"Although my ideas are in the earliest stages of development, they are, in my mind, worth investigating.
"I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting."
Crow has also commented on her website about how she thinks paper napkins "represent the height of wastefulness" and come up with a clothing line with a "dining sleeve" that acts as an ersatz napkin."

Ol Cheryl needs to quit smokin' that funny weed!

[Killo1]

HAHAHA. One square... Hey, I got an idea. Lets just use our bare hands Cheryl, that will totally eliminate toilet paper. (and hand shaking)

[moosetags]

I guess that ol' Cheryl Crow is an "expert" since she is a celebrity. What an idiot! I'm sure that she uses on square of toilet paper per "incident".

I guarrantee you that her carbon footprint is more than 10 of any of us put together with the touring and entourage she rolls with.

We if they printed the newspapers on softer paper, we could use that and save a tree. Many of the articles are suitable for that usage anyway.

[ZoominC6]

Cheryl can be in charge of the Paper Police and we all know what we can do when she comes to inspect our usage.

[Stefrobrts]

Talk about sticking your nose where it doesn't belong!

[ScottyWed]

If only they would have explained the 3 sea shells in the movie "The Demolition Man" we could solve this problem.

Sometimes I am disheartened over the lack of sensitivity of some of the people who have Airstreams.
This woman is an Artist!
She is talented and has a lovely, uh, personality.
Besides, she sings a song that I like.
Just because she is dainty and can do it with one sheet should not make her the object of derision. She has obvious skills.
Sheryl is a success, has mansions, dates famous people and has ridden a bicycle once.
Being clueless is just another quality to admire.
Gesh, she probably looked at an Airstream once.

Must be art imitating life or vice versa..I remember a Seinfeld episode w/Elaine talking about 'sparing a square'!!!

[mistral blue]

One square is all I need

[Minnie's Mate]

I can see limiting my usage to two squares...that should just about wrap around one of her CD covers!

I appreciate celebrities using their celebrity status to bring attention to social issues, but sometimes they really should think through what they are saying before they say it. This time this one really shows that she has nothing of any value to say.

[flyfshr]

Let's give her a roll of 365 squares for her to use for a year and see how long it would be before she asks for another. Is there such a thing as a dainty incident? Don't think so.

My dear departed mother could squeeze a nickel until the buffalo sh** in her hand. She literally had a crayon line around the bathtub limiting the amount of water we could use - less than 2 inches deep.

In college I ran into a way that one could supposedly use only one sheet - which I showed mother and several of her church choir mates.... who all thought it was hilarious.

Let us see if I can relate it without pictures:

Take a single sheet of TP.
Fold in half, turn 90 degrees and fold again.
On the intersection of the two folds, tear out a very small quarter-round piece - the radius of the tear should be 1cm. or slightly less
SAVE the torn out piece!
Drape the sheet over one finger by the hole so that it skirts the base of your finger.

Use your finger in place of TP....
Careful now...

Grab the draped sheet in the other hand and with a rotating motion, wipe your finger from base to tip...

Now remember the little piece left over?

Use it to clean under your fingernail.
EEEEEECH!

The devil made me do it.

Paula, how funny!!!..if it works, don't fight it???..

[Aria]

Crow....stick to singing. We can all concentrate on helping save our planet.
One sheet TP....NO. Need to find other ways. I did switch my light bulbs.

[BamCamper]

What an enlightening thread...

One square? It must be made out of a sponge.

[JimGolden]

OK, I thought this was too crude, but after reading Paula's post, well this one is mild

The bear and the rabbit were both squatting over the log at the same time, doing their business. The bear looks at the rabbit and says "Mr. Cottontail, do you ever have trouble with your pooh sticking to your fur?" Mr. Cottontail replied "Nosireee Bob, Mr. Bear. Never had a bit of trouble with that." Mr. Bear said "Good!", then picked him up and wiped with him.

We all just need to raise bunny rabbits

It just goes to show that some people have rather strange priorities.
