That's Just How I 'Roll'

I'm not ashamed to tell you, one thing I will never skimp on is good toilet paper. In fact, I bring my own when I travel, because even good hotels don't have the good stuff. About 15 years ago, I discovered that they could put lotion in my TP, and things have never been the same since.

For all my fellow aficionados of fine bathroom paper products, here comes a story that will really chap your...um...hide (Literally!) Turns out, soft wipeage is more destructive to the planet than SUV's or even Al Gore's carbon-belching mansion. That's right, Francis - every time you squeeze the Charmin, a baby seal dies. Not even turning on the exhaust fan will help this time.

Are they serious? Is this the most important thing we have to worry about now? Aside from the fact that I think anthropogenic climate change is for the most part so much balderdash, if we saw trees down to make TP, we can plant more! With the economy in the crapper, do we really have time to discuss what else is in there?

Maybe we should start using reusable potty wipes, so we can all be stinky hippies and our houses can permanently smell like the daycare at changing time. Whata load of...you know what.
