Angry Sheryl Crow wants bathroom police to save planet
MULTIPLE CHOICE - PUBLIC POLL

Singer calls for limit of 1 sheet of toilet paper per visit

Quote:
Singer Sheryl Crow, fresh from a confrontation with Karl Rove at the White House Press Correspondents Dinner, has some unique ideas about saving the planet from "global warming."

In a blog chronicling her thoughts during a college tour with Laurie David, producer of Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth," she suggests "a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one 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 writes.
Sen. Harry Reid has agreed to meet with Crow to discuss the issue.


Liberalism .... it's the new Fascism in America.

Hmmm ... and I like her, too.

We could all do with less paper wastage for whatever reason.
I'm trying to convince my lads that they do not need a whole roll at each visit.
Well ... maybe they do but don't friggin' flush it and clog the toilet. Again.
One square seems a bit much (less?), though.
If it's 3 ply I can do with less-ish, I guess-ish, but not one square.

I didn't vote.

I think it's a great idea for wingers. Their sphincter is so tight anyway nothing escapes which is the reason they are so full of ****.

Not that I buy it for 1 minute. The bit about Crow being a "rocker", I mean.

I knew a woman that was with the peace corps for a few years. She went to azerbaijan for awhile, and said that they dug holes for bathrooms and used their left hands, covered in ash or dirt, to wipe.

Maybe Sheryl Crowe could spend a few weeks there? She'd probably fall in love with TP all over again.

Good afternoon Carolyn...it must be a teen boy thing...my toilet is upstairs and I can tell when William has used too much TP by the clunk in the pipes...and the sound of the plunger!

I remember as a kid my Dad saying we only need THREE pieces per toilet visit...and that we could wash our hands...and TP was cheap then!

Hi Marlene
Ahhh ... the sweet sound of the plunger. At least he (William) uses it. Mine pretend not to notice the pipes rumbling and toilet overflow.
I don't know what it is ... I can guess but am not sure I want to know, but c'mon .... it's embarrassing to have to go get 40+ rolls a week, coz you know it's going to be the same cashier. Maybe I should shop around.
TP wasn't rationed when I was a kid that I recall ... but we were only allowed to wash our hair once a week. Ewww.

I think it's a great idea. When she's done she can turn it over and use the other side. Save a tree and eat a beaver I always said.

You'd have made a great comedian Carolyn!

My toilet never overflowed...thank goodness...I hate the thing anyways...the townhouses gave us all new ones several years ago...God forbid anyone over 150 lbs sit on the tiny thing! And the hole is pretty small...anything to save a buck! I have to warn visitors to be sure they're on stool softeners if they plan on having a #2 at my house!
