LOL, the trial run is out here in DC. Smart thinking, I guess--if it can stand up to the big load of crp you get in the land of politicians, it ought to hold up anywhere.

I'm still trying to wrap (pun intended) my mind around all of this. What is going to happen to the last few sheets of TP? They will drop to the floor, that's what will happen.

Has anyone noticed that the TP is not nearly as wide as it used to be. Looks tacky on the holder.

That's why we have 4 lb. bags of sugar, 7 oz. cans of pop and beer, etc. Heckfire, that's how we got from full length bloomers to thong underwear in 100 years.

I'm wondering the same thing. How will the shape hold?
