Pardon me while I get a little Seinfeldian here, but it's always made me kind of grin when I think about the fights that go on simply because of the positioning of the toilet paper. The "over-the-roll/under-the-roll" debate has been going on for ages, and someone will probably still be arguing with someone else about it when the world ends.

Personally, I'm an over-the-roll guy. I was trained that way by my parents and it's just always seemed more convenient, more aesthetically pleasing and easier to find where the roll starts for me that way. I had roommates who were under-the-roll guys, and we used to have subliminally fight about it -- I'd come into the bathroom and find the toilet paper roll switched around, so I'd put it back the way I wanted it. They'd come in and find I'd done that, so they'd reverse it back the way they wanted it. We actually got into a fight about it when one of them saw me going into the bathroom and asked me not to switch the roll, I basically responded, "Look, you guys never pay for toilet paper, I always end up buying it, so I'll put it however I want it."

On a different note, many many many thanks to Meredith, who sent me three über-cool CDs as well as really nice custom-printed labels for them. Thanks, Meredith!
