One Ply
Who thought 1 ply toilet paper was a good idea?
More importantly....who thought bringing 1 ply toilet paper into this home was a good idea?
Oh yes, that's right, Logan. He may be hyper-talented in the marketable skill arena, but in the toilet paper buying arena:
Not so much.
Ah, a chink in the armour. So he is human after all.

I clicked on an ad for Novelty Toilet Paper. It doesn't say how many plies it is, but for $8 a roll, I hope it's more than one. $80 to have a roll custom printed. Gak.

I've made that same mistake before...sending my husband to buy t.p.
I learned my lesson fast. He'll buy the cheapest t.p. at Target. Ahhhh!

Were Logan and Eric seperated at birth? He came home with an economy sized year supply of ONE PLY TOILET PAPER. Are you kidding me? I have to ball it up into a basketball sized wad for it to do any good.
But then, I've always been a toilet paper whore.

A friend once told me that a few men are like one-ply-tissue: transparent and without any layers.
Suzanne stopped by my site today and suggested that I swing by your site because it is funny and acerbic. She is so very correct. I must always listen to Suzanne and I must put you in my favourites folder so that I can return often.
Have a great day!!

Yeah, but for a metrosexual, he doesn't sound so bad.

WHEN WILL THEY LEARN? We just use twice as much. There is no $aving. It is also likely to be scratchy and we wipe bits that you don't. We do not scrimp on the TP in our house.

Well, you an always send him to www.toiletpaperworld.com (the google ad that came up with this entry). It appears to have a selection of both one-ply and two-ply varieties.

Get this! We were visiting my folks this weekend. In each of the bathrooms they had that itchy-scratchy cheap toilet paper. Yesterday just before we were going to leave I go into their storage closet and find a new package of CHARMIN!

No shit. (No pun intended.)
p.s. I clicked on your ads. Who the hell would spend $38 for a toilet paper holder?
