Well, they did calculate that the average use per potty visit is 5 sheets.

So what, exactly, is it that ” toilet-paper researchers” have been doing since 1942?

Adding "ripples" and "quilting."

"So what, exactly, is it that toilet-paper researchers” have been doing since 1942?" Licking their wounds after the public refused to adopt their last invention; diaper wipes on a roll.

Just guessing, but probably running up against the fact that Americans are very slow to change the kind of toilet paper they use.

The number of political comments in this thread is pretty interesting. ELF storming your house? Obama splitting sheets? Just shows where the conservative mind is.

This is a real hassle for Sheryl Crow. She'll have to split the sheets. And maybe President Obama will make the rest of us do it, too.

That conjures up images that I'd just as soon not be conjured up.

What have toilet paper researchers been doing? I suspect they have been sitting around a lot, folding things, you know. That is when they're not doing their daytime jobs working at the State Dept.

That must be the single most question that I don't want to hear the answer to. But then I am fairly young yet...

Those unwilling to wrestle with that springy thing have options without springs, you know.

I think the TP researchers were afraid of getting sideways with tree huggers: Three-play = more dead trees. Who wants ELF storming your house when you're simply trying to wipe your butt?

I started shaving with a cut-throat razor. I'm now very happy with my 5-blade from Gillette.

Why not? remember John Belushi's "tripletrack razor commercial on SNL?
"Because America...You'll believe anything!!"

Well they now have four blades for real!!

Oh, great. Two ply clogs the john every damn time. 3 ply, and I'll have to put new pipes in.

Trying to figure out how that springy thing in the middle of the roll works.

Once again we are beaten out by the Finns. A friend in Helsinki was recently working on ads for a new brand of tp that has an 8-ply center they named the comfort zone. Many, many comfort zone jokes around the office.
