One square?!

[Boozy]

I'm all about doing my part and everything, but geez! Sometimes one square just ain't gonna get the job done.

Either this is a big joke, or Sheryl Crow is a few notes short of a full song.

Whiskey tango foxtrot? How can you get yourself clean on one square of toilet paper? I always need to do more paperwork than that.

I wonder how she does it. Does she stick a garden hose up her butt? Probably not--that would waste water.

[Ryu]

im all about the environment but that plan will never work
not only is it not practical but no one will follow it as no one wants to take a chance in not being totally clean

[BusBus]

Whoa. That's one idea that she didn't think through at all....

Oh yeah, I heard this on the Rush Limbaugh radio show yesterday.

I think it's absolutely ridiculous. Global Warming is now being blamed on *everything* (even the extreme winter storms we've been having).

As my geology teacher told me (and the rest of the geology class I was in): Every 500 years or so, the earth goes to extremes in temperature. This means what once was cold will be hot and what once was hot will be cold.

Please remember: Orange County, Maryland was not named Orange County after William of Orange, but because there. were. orange. groves. there. That means Maryland once had a climate just like Florida and California, but if you go there today, it's not the same as Florida and California. And Maryland boasted its orange groves only 4-5 hundred years ago.

[Boozy]

Oops. I really didn't mean to start a thread about global warming, and I hope it doesn't go in that direction. It can be a hot topic sometimes. Get it? "Hot" topic.

Yes, I deserve to be smacked for that one. Who's got the salmon?

Maryland had orange groves? I think I missed that day in history class.

By extension, Wisconsin might have had that same climate too.

Mmmm, cheap oranges....

Sorry Boozy about getting on my little . I just get a little irritated about anything people say we "have to do" about global warming and the such ... I'll go back and hide in my rum for now.

Sheryl Crow is a quack. If I have to make a rather large deposit at the porcelain throne, I'm not going to risk getting my hands covered in said deposit because Miss Hoity Toity Crow thinks I should only use one freaking square of butt wipe.

Crow acknowledges there could be occasions when the one-square limit might not suffice, such as "on those pesky occasions where two to three could be required."

Does she even EAT solid food? Two or three wouldn't even work.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

I thought this was funny too:

"Crow's other green ideas include a clothing line she has designed with a detachable "dining sleeve" that can be used as a napkin, thereby saving on the use of paper napkins."

Imagine eating dinner with somebody, and suddenly she rips the sleeve off her dress and starts wiping her mouth with it!

[Boozy]

Oh, the sleeve thing! I totally missed that gem. Thanks for pointing it out.

[MystyGlyttyr]

BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

...oh wait, you're serious. Let me laugh even harder.

Oh dear lord, she can't mean it. This has to be some sort of joke. I mean, what, does she use paper towel-sized toilet paper? Does she ever have a PERIOD? Has she no bowel?

Besides which, last I saw, toilet paper could be recycled. I don't want to know the process that goes into it, I just know that it can be.

She writes that when she presented the idea to her younger brother, he went a step further, suggesting that people could "just wash the one square out."

<Ice Cube>Aw HELL no.</Ice Cube>

[CaroPhoenix]

I read everything Crowe said and I was laughing so hard, my daughter looked at me like I was insane.

I, for one, actually want to see Sheryl Crowe use only one toilet square. I'll pay good cash money to see it. Then I'll be like: when she has to give up and agree that it's an idiot idea.
