To The Person In My House

who is obviously poor of spirit, and whose poverty manifests itself by a galling and vapid insistence that the toilet paper roll be installed wrongways-round:

Stop it.

How is your toilet roll dispensed? Is it not just on a circular appendage positioned to enable rotation of the roll either one way, or contrariwise, in order for said roll to gently drop its sheets of papery softness into a handily rippable position?

Which way is the right way? There have been bitter feuds in my family over this topic, to the extent that various aunts have actually come over just to change it around in the past...

Personally, I'm all for bisexuality among toilet roll - it can swing whichever way it likes.

Only the coarsest mind doesn't know that the paper should roll from the outside, and from the outside only. Positioning--nay--diabolically engineering the tube to plummet the paper from the inside (into the depths of Hell itself!) requires a measure of reach two to six inches more than should be asked of any man, woman, or child. Worse, the paper (thus configured) lies flat--in wait, as if to waylay the unsuspecting--against the wall. It is an abomination.

Ah. Yet another reason for you to admire my mother, then, for she is of the same opinion.

Wow. I have always preferred it to roll from the inside. Does that make my toilet roll gay?

Based on its position, and the frequency with which it approaches your butt, I'd say yes.

HUL--can I borrow y'all's time machine?
