I feel like sports people are espicially bad in saying "the proverbial". And as much as i like Mark Schlereth he seems to be one of the worse offenders.

I hate to throw you under the proverbial bus, metaphorically speaking, but I can't stand people who can't spell ridiculous.

Nice.


My bad. There are some mispellings that are just ingrained in my brain, rediculous is one of them. I hate people who say ricoculous. Not only is it immature but its absolutely recoculous.

Inconclusive, sir. The argument could be made that the left roll is a few rolls ahead. I'm and 'over', 'unders' should be inhumed with all possible prejudice.

[MTK]

The one on the right is probably the original roll.

Over is just uncivilized. Those that go over probably also wipe back to front.

Wrong. I did the math, and if i live 70 years, the extra 3 inches i have to reach for the under totals 1.209 miles of extra reaching i would do over the course of my life. Assuming i wipe once a day(which i do). I would rather spare myself that extra effort.

The stats don't lie.

Poor math will though. I forgot the multiplier. I probably wipe on average four times per movement. Now we're in the neighborhood of 5 miles over the course of my life(provided i dont run into current forum management in a dark alley).

That's ridiculous Matty. I'm not going to stretch out over 5 miles so i dont appear uncouth.

What if you've never paid attention to which side the tp roll is facing? What if you're more concerned about a lack of tp instead?

OMFG! I'm surrounded by tissue abusers!

WTF is wrong with the world......

I'm just glad there's no issue with tissue when one uses baby wipes in place of the old fashioned roll. Yeah, yeah, I really do.

TMI?

[Monkeydad]

I was expecting you.

[RedskinRat]

Science!

[MTK]

The lack of that extra exercise will probably cancel out any benefits.
