Long Awaited Upgrade to Toilet Paper is Here

. Tuesday, September 23

It was a long, arduous search this morning for any news that didn't contain Obama, McCain, Lehman Brothers, Wall Street or bail out. Searching for good news seemed futile...until this bit about the brand new, reasearcher developed (and they got paid for it too), 3-ply Quilted Northern toilet paper (oops, sorry; how crude of me) bathroom tissue. This new, supposedly softer and probably much stronger toilet paper bathroom tissue was released yesterday, just in time for the proverbial shit to hit the fan in the stock market. The advertising for the product targets older women 45 and up who view their bathroom as a sort of sanctuary. Fitting smack dab in the middle of that target market, the only thing I require of a bathroom at my age is that is it very, very close by; and I'd hardly call that a sanctuary. Harumph.

Have you ever used John Wayne paper?

It's rough, tough and doesn't take crap off of anybody!

I've always said you can never have too many plys-well, maybe not always, but surely I have thought it from time to time.

Isn't it amazing how important TP actually is?!
How is on plumbing?

LOL No mention of this TP's impact on pipes. I would guess with more to dissolve it wouldn't do well in septic systems. :-(
