Toilet Paper substitute

April 24, 2007 — It all started with a joke.
Wrapping up a nationwide global warming tour, singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow posted a quirky "solution" online about a new way to save the environment.
She wrote: "I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting."
She told the joke to get people's attention, and it worked. Talk show hosts had a field day with Crow's comments.
"Have you seen my [backside]?" Rosie O'Donnell joked on "The View."
"It seemed like Sheryl was trying to be a little bit cheeky, no pun intended," said Michelle Lee, executive editor of In Touch weekly.
Maybe Crow was inspired by her ecoactivist partner Laurie David. After all, David's husband, Larry David, of "Seinfeld" fame, wrote the famous episode where Elaine says to a neighbor in the next bathroom stall:
"Three squares? You can't spare three squares?"
"No, I don't have a square to spare. I can't spare a square," the woman responds.
Meeting Karl Rove
Crow wanted to clear the air about her comments.
"We're just so happy that people are talking about global warming, even if it's brought on by a joke," Crow told ABC News.
And for Crow and Laurie David, their message is everything.
They just wrapped up a successful cross-country ecotour of 12 college campuses to raise awareness about global warming.
The two started the trip in an environmentally friendly biodiesel bus at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, and ended the tour on Earth Day at George Washington University in Washington, D.C.
At George Washington, they joined musicians Faith Hill, Tim McGraw and Carole King and environmental activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who performed and spoke before a crowd of about 2,000 people.
Crow and David also talked with top White House adviser Karl Rove at the White House Correspondents Dinner Saturday night.
"How excited were we to have our first opportunity ever to talk directly to the Bush administration about global warming," Crow and David wrote on the Huffington Post blog.
Sheryl Crow is leaving an interesting legacy.
There was a time when I thought of her only when I heard her pleasant voice. Now, I think of her every time I wipe!
Can it get any better?
A joke.When the global warming hoax is exposed for what it is,the biggest political grab in history,these people are all going to come out and say they were joking.

OH MAN! That is bad! LMAO!
LMAO!
We can always go back to using corn cobs. If someone could come up with a way to make them washable and reusable, we will be set.
I saw this all over the local news in NYC and they way they announcers read this, Crow came off as a kook.
Never could stand her wretched grunge music either, hope she is laughed off the public stage........
Good plan. Someone should tell that to JF'nK. Oh, wait......

So her entire blog was a joke?
Sure sounded like it.
You mean in ONE of their 30-room mansions. I'd be willing to bet each of these people maintains at least 3 homes.
My sophomore year in college, I roomed off campus with two girls. Prior to that, I’d never lived with females, other than my mother growing up. I was STUNNED at the amount of toilet paper they used. It seemed like it’d be enough for any five people, easy. Took months to get used to.
I wanna see Sheryl Crow try to clean peanut butter out of a shag carpet with one piece of toilet paper.
People aren't talking about global warming because of this...they're just talking about how stupid and hypocritical liberals are.
Another oxymoron from the morons.
It’s a plot, I tell you! They get all the greenies following Sheryl’s plan, then they say, “Alright, sniff everybody and if they don’t smell like crap they go to the concentration camp.”
Post 27 and we've already got the best post in the thread!
I heard about this, and thought "If I were Karl, I'd be worried about Coliform bacteria...and whatever lifeforms were crawling around in Kid Rock's shorts recently."
