   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.

   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.
