Environmentalists Seek to Wipe Out Plush Toilet Paper

Had to go into 'Humor', thanks to the headline writer for the Post... but I really do have to wonder what the obsession is with toilet paper?

Wasn't there some celeb a year or so ago urging us to use only one square of paper per visit? Humpf! Whoever it was had never visited Squealer's BBQ Pit!

We can't use the ultra soft squishy paper out here anyway - we're on a septic system and things can get clogged pretty easily. But we don't use the recycled stuff, either - I call it "John Wayne Toilet Paper". It's rough, it's tough and it don't take shit off nobody!

It is a fight over toilet paper: the kind that is blanket-fluffy and getting fluffier so fast that manufacturers are running out of synonyms for "soft" (Quilted Northern Ultra Plush is the first big brand to go three-ply and three-adjective).

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
