Our federal government is currently embroiled with many issues, some created by both sides of the aisle who are unwilling to seek a compromise. The government shutdown, the wall on the Mexican border and our foreign policy are among the more noticeable issues. And here in South Carolina there are reports of potholes on I-26 going toward Charleston, some of our bridges need replacing and the conduct of some Gamecock fans in and around Doo Doo Stadium is reprehensible.
And here sit many true and loyal Americans on their commodes, seeking a non-partisan solution to one of the most perplexing problems facing the nation. Should the toilet tissue come off the roll over or under? This topic has divided this nation for several generations and it's time for our elected officials to get off their seats and flush this issue before it creates a crisis of epic proportions.
Furthermore, our Department of Indoor Plumbing and Outhouses should, without delay, develop standards and procedures for removing the tissue from the roll. Efficiency experts estimate lost time from indecisions re the removal of tissue from the roll costs an employer 27 minutes per day per person.
Each one of has, no doubt, encountered additional problems in the most sacred of places, our bathrooms and in other bathrooms we have visited. There is no standard location for the installation of the tissue holder. It may be in front, to the side or even behind the commode. I have actually seen one that hung from the ceiling. In a hotel in Shrewsbury, England, the tissue dispenser was on the wall in front of the commode. If a person did not notice the tissue was out of reach from the commode, he/she was not going to be a happy camper when the bell rang. Maybe a person with acrobatic skills would have been able to retrieve a few sheets of tissue but most people would have need for a "call for help" button.
For the safety and convenience of the commode occupant, I would highly recommend our state and federal governments direct their attention to this issue and give it Number One priority on their legislative agenda.
Thank you for having the courage to address this issue.
If you have toddlers, puppies or cats the paper should come from under the roll, to ensure that some paper remains on the roll for those who actually need it. Once everyone in your household outgrows the phase where it is fun to unroll the paper, over the top is preferred.
Good points TigerKAT! Think you just saved the government untold quantities of money that would have been spent by the Department of Indoor Plumbing and Outhouses studying the problem!! -
