Pardon me, can you spare a square?
Sorry, I have no squares to spare.
I would be suspected of mis-use....due to the returned roll being so small. :(
I never once at any time in High School ever, EVER sought or needed to seek to use a restroom during class time.
And, I imagine if my fellow students kept destroying our restrooms that our principle would have just closed them and put port-a-potties in the school parking lot, with the board of ed’s blessing; and if a port-a-pottie ran out of toilet paper during the day, the kids would have been told to bring their own just in case.
Sheryl Crow is happy about this!
ONLY applies to boys.?!
Discrimination. Make the girls sign out, too. They need to start figuring out how to use one square, if they are going to be in the Infantry.
“You put your first two fingers through the square and then wipe with your fingers. Use the paper to wipe your fingers.”
Welcome to the Infantry, ladies.
For the information of all hands:

This is blatant discrimination based upon ones sex since this only applies to boys. They need to be sued.
Always use your left hand if right handed...
I always hated it when they make innocent people pay for the crimes of the guilty.
This sounds funny except when a boy needs toilet tissue it’s obvious he’s going to have a bowel movement. My son’s elementary school had this policy for a while and caused many boys no end of embarrassment. How about just identifying the problems kids and make THEM ask. Don’t punish the good kids, too.
Sheryl Crow sighting??
Bring your own TP from home.
Cornholio is Not Pleased.
No reason the school cannot declare TP to be a required school supply that students should bring from home. And students whose families cannot afford TP should get it from the school nurse.
Seriously, for years some teachers have required students to carry large, humiliating objects with them as restroom passes. No reason that getting issue TP should be any worse.
The way I heard it you folded your square in half and then in half again. You then tore off the corner where the two folds intersect, leaving a hole in the center of the paper. It's very important to hang on to the smaller square that you ripped off the larger square. You proceed using your index finger passed through the hole to clean things up a bit and then fold the large square around your finger as you withdraw it rendering it clean as well.
What's the small square all about you ask? Why it's purpose is to clean under the fingernail of the index finger finishing the job. In the Army no job is complete until the paperwork is done.

Do they do a post-analysis test like fingerprinting or at least an ink-blot test?
One day, a teacher walked in and some kid makes a remark about the lights sure being dim due to all the toilet paper stuck to the fixtures. p> Teacher brings in the principal to examine the damage and he starts bringing in the most suspicious first and second grade boys which, of course, included me.
Thus begins the speech: "I know you kids didn't get this idea all by yourselves, what I want to know is who put you up to it!" A handful of the boys try to deny involvement, but the daggers in our eyes tell a different story. "It will go a lot easier on all of you boys if you give me names and tell me the truth!"
Naturally, we are intimidated enough to blurt out a few names. The second wave of kids gets the same treatment and blurt out a few more. Before it is over, two-thirds of the boys in the school are crowded into the bathroom. Principal declares anymore of this, and he will use a mean looking paddle which he shows us. He picks out 18 to 20 of the older boys and says that they will work with the school custodian in cleaning the ceiling over recess. The rest of us will police the school ground picking up trash. Anyone who slacks off will be doing it again the next recess and the recess after that, if necessary.
We did what we were told and considered ourselves lucky that we didn't get to feel the paddle on our backsides. Needless to say, there was no wet toilet paper or any other form of bathroom vandalism for a long, long time.
What in the hell ever happened to this type of common sense?
