Can You Spare A Square?

Can You Spare A Square?



I like to think that I am not a wasteful individual. That my ecological footprint upon the earth can be minimized with a bit of resourcefulness. After all, I had read on a tree hugger website that if everyone in the world lived like a U.S. citizen, we'd need over five planets to support ourselves.

So, I'm thinking I should be able to improve. To make my footprint ever smaller. (Never smaller than a size 13, though. That would be too painful). I could be a bit more conscientious recycling my garbage. I could be more diligent in purchasing products made with the "greenest" technology possible.

Then I thought of my dear old dad. He taught me my earliest lesson in frugality. I can still remember him telling me that I shouldn't use more than eight squares of toilet paper per poop.

Yep, eight squares. I had never really counted before, but he was pretty intent that I understood that my limit was to be eight squares.

I remember a few things occurred to me at the time.

First, it would be hard for him to prove it if I went over the prescribed portion.

Then, I thought that on occasion, a person had to use more than eight squares for some situations. Like, what about the times when you think your done, but after you wipe up (using all eight of your squares), you suddenly realize that you aren't as finished as you thought you were. Does this constitute a new poop? Did I earn eight more squares? Or am I SOL?

Perhaps the rules could be stretched to mean eight squares for each little log? That would make it easy. A person could crap with pleasure, complimented with a wipe up without worry. Especially if you have those machine gun poops where they pinch out in hard little balls. Then again, that's no help really. Those hard little ones generally require less paper anyhow, don't they?

And what about if I am pooping in another place? At a friends house, or in a public restroom? Do the eight squares follow me wherever I go? (Okay, they do. But hopefully somebody will tell me there are squares on my shoe).

And, (horrors), what about diarrhea? Surely it takes more than eight in those situations. Right?

Then there is the problem of pile. No, not the poop, rather the ply of the paper. If you have 2-ply paper, then you have a real shot at the squareness. If you have Charmin, that's really good. Gawd help you if you end up with single ply. Like Scott.

In a pinch, such was the poopy pondering of that potty puppy, the young keithcancook. It's all true, I shit you not!

Don't forget to flush, and

I think it would be easier to keep to your eight squares if everyone and everyplace had bidets in this country. Of course that might waste more water. I think it was Kohler that just came out with a new toilet that includes a bidet function in the unit itself.

I long for the WhisperFlush 2000. The throne of thrones! It's big, and better than a bucket. Plus, it sits high enough for me that my parts don't hang into the water.

I can't stand the teeny toilets they put in houses these days. They're designed for short folks, rather than um, longer ones.

Well, my old man imagined it. I must have been wadding it up or somehow using too much at the time. Such a waste.

I've never understood why they offer 1-ply tp, much less why anyone would even buy it.
There's probably some government funded, complicated study that determines the ratio of 1 vs 2-ply square usage.

It is my understanding that the toilet paper lobby is very powerful in Washington. They have a lot of pull when it comes to paper, and can push hard on legislation affecting logging, squeezing the little guys out.

That's probably because Canadians aren't nearly as full of it as Americans, and can usually spare a few squares.

hahahaha... I guess we all get these things from our parents. Although mine were not about 8 squares. I'm happy to say that my parents left those kind of hard choices up to me! Shall I go for 8 squares? or more... mmm... Because as you describe there are so many different situations and each situation requires a different amount of squares... rofl...

Keep blogging y'all!

Definitely don't want to be frugal
when doing this task. The chore is bad
enough to do with these messed up arms
that still have difficulty getting behind me,
so I know I'll not be frugal with the little
squares. The more the merrier right now I'm afraid.

This reminds me of a post from my old blog as it's thematically related. As the weather warms and leaves return to the deciduous trees it becomes possible to use [post 406473].

You can actually sit and watch cars go by on a nearby road as you sit but they can't see you! I think deer like to use that area for night shelter though so I'm not sure if they appreciate the presence of human turds.

I followed your link. That's what I would call true logging for sure!

Aw, that is bad news, having difficulty reaching.

I hope you will forgive me, I can't possibly resist myself sometimes, but isn't this condition known as a handicrap?

That's nothing. My dad believed 2 squares were sufficient, especially if you folded them to make one really small square. (I never tested out his theory).
