to the toilet paper companies. due to the high volume of paper being used in the country may i suggest that each roll of paper come with each piece numbered so that an adequate track can be made of each roll. tracking use can greatly reduce and/or stop usage of this valuable resource. with America being accused of using too much oil, gasoline and coal, we do not wish to also be seen as using too much toilet paper, so this will serve to alert of excessive use and will further enhance our status as a third world country. to further increase reduced use and with today's electronics, each roll could utilize micro-chips with a user friendly message to make this reduced use more fairly equated across the different classes. for instance, usage of two pieces or less will hear a polite "thank you". anything above four pieces may receive a "thank you, perhaps less next time". since we are now a unisex nation, wadders and folders will be treated on an equal basis. if you agree with this and would like to sign a petition regarding this, please vist:

may as well just have a built in camera also, camera's don't lie. lol. the rough and tough john wayne paper might not go as far though.

Let's just stop using commercial toilet paper. Two red corncobs and a white corncob work quite well. Use a red one and then the white one to see if you need to use the other red one. Tie a string on all of them so they can be used over and over.

Oh, I forgot something - with all these new-fangled combines in use, there may not be enough full-size corncobs to go arounds.

As funny as you think that might be, let me relate a true story/tale... some years back, my wife worked at a rest home.

A new (young) admin was hired, and called an employee meeting.

As a "prop" at his podium, he had a cardboard box/case in which so many tubs of wet adult butt wipes (similar to baby wipes) had been packed/shipped.

He held up one of the "tubs" of wipes and verbally illustrated the math... so many wipes per "tub", so many tubs per case, and divided that into the inmate population.

Bottom line was that the aides were directed to NOT use over 3 wipes per "inmate" per 24 hour period, as an austerity move.

I'm sure that sounded god, from his point of view, but, if you have over cared for a disabled or elderly person, you will realize that what sounds good from a manager/CEO position isn't necessarily easy to implement "in the field".

Can you imagine having to try to clean up someone in your care, and telling them "well, that's it, you can have 3 more wipes tomorrow"?

Pete! I think your memo, should be sent to a legislator, maybe they are running short on ideas, for things, to control the masses with. El external_link may want to include that with his health care!

Maybe you need to consult an expert. I hear that Sheryl Crowe, the singer is a toilet paper expert.

Americans may be using less toilet paper, if Sheryl Crow has her way.

The singer, who is crossing the country on a biodiesel bus with producer Laurie David, proposes limiting toilet paper use as one solution to global warming, according to a Washington Post report.

"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," she wrote April 19 on the Biodiesel Bus blog, according to a report by the Washington Post. "Although my ideas are in the earliest stages of development, they are, in my mind, worth investigating."

Her toilet paper manifesto would limit how many squares of toilet paper Americans use in a sitting.

"Now, I don't want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required," she wrote.

Reminds me of a tongue in cheek family discussion we had when the kids were small.I calculated 1/6 of a cent per shingle and asked everyone in the family to due thier part to conserve due to the high cost.One of the boys was about 4 at the time and took the message to heart.He didn't tear off the toilet paper the next time,used it and rolled it back up on the roll.

Why would anyone use toilet paper? Don't you just use your left hand and the bucket of water sitting beside the toilet like everyone else?
