  1. I’m curious. Did Diana MacPherson reverse your TP rolls with the tag end facing outward or inward? If if it was outward, what’s the matter with you? If it was inward, what’s the matter with her? 🙂

    1. This inward and outward thing confuses me. Are you trying to throw off me, my crows and now kittens?

  2. I know a certain Canadian reader who’s wondering if he can also reverse the direction of the roll itself.

    Watch it again — that’s exactly what happens!

    The roll starts out in its natural and proper orientation; by the end, it’s been transmogrified into the crawling chaotic orientation that only somebody hoping to be eaten first could embrace.

    1. Agreed.

      If atheists can agree there is no evidence for a God I’d think it would at least be easy to converge on the correct conclusion that any other toilet paper orientation other than “over” is an abomination.

      It drives me nuts whenever my wife puts it the wrong way.

    1. ?!?!??!?!?!? Uh, no. It is going the wrong way when Willie is finished with it. Now when Willie’s staff tear off a piece the roll is likely to start turning, thus impeding the tear.

    2. I’m not terribly sure the wiki has adjudicated correctly on the matter, though. Even more shocking, there is considerable talk that this vitally important topic be eliminated altogether.

  3. Now if he could only unshred the toilet paper as well then I’d have reason to believe in Ceiling Cat.

  4. This does provide some insight to the age-old question. Neither “over” nor “under” is the correct answer. The correct answer is: “Well… do you serve a cat?”

  5. I was younger than four when I named the two orientations of toilet paper “Pete” and “Billy”, those being the names of the older boys living next to us. I idolized their sister Cheryl, too, but being the only girl she didn’t lend herself to a binary distinction.

    I think “Pete” was the anterior presentation, with the line of perforation visible, generally termed “over” though I’d prefer “front”, but I can’t trust any memory that old.
