      From: usteen@asdf.fi              From Charmin's Web site:                     Q. The plies on my Charmin Ultra are not lined up; it's not tearing in       the right place.              A. Here's an easy fix if the plies aren't lining up:               * Hold the roll in front of you with the paper winding over the top.        * Pull the top ply up and drop it back behind the roll.        * Its perforations should match with the layer that's now on top.        * Tear away the excess and you're good to go.               [...]               Claims valid only in Canada.                       =              Using paper for tush-wiping dates from mediaeval China. Loo roll came       in the nineteenth century. Today, US people alone flush thirty million       rolls per day.              Ancient Rome turned to a stick-with-sponge approach. Others went quite       happily with a corn cob for help (harsh!). Text by Rabelais points to       Toilet Goose...              Indian norm: Avoid using Andrex, lad. Apply water - with the 'filthy'       left hand, not the right hand.                            - - - - -       Notes:       - The Charmin FAQ page tries to be clever in guessing where the reader       is.       - Rabelais went on about the topic at some length. Some of it is       painful reading even when one bears in mind his satirical bent etc.                     --       A n n a S h e f l - For email, substitute 'usenet' for its anagram        - "Never eat more than you can lift." --Miss Piggy -        alt.anagrams FAQ: http://theanna.org/grams/        Weird news archive and more: http://theanna.org/              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
