    My son, until we told him that that was not an effective way to conserve natural resources.

    Umm.. Nada. No real reason given for the SIZE. But TP was first sold in BOOKS and the pages were called leaves, the first rolls followed the Sheet method for ease of use. So I'm thinking the size came from the books as they became standard before the roll was invented.

    I think its Stupid that I needed to know this.

    Time traveler to 21st century host: why does your toilet paper have writing all over it? And where can I find some reading material to put on your handy scroll holder?

    The truth about toilet paper:
    The sheets were designed to be approximately square. This is considered aesthetically pleasing to someone. I guess.
    The perforations between the sheets were engineered to never tear straight across the perforations. The only exception is that if you try to pull off a single sheet, it will easily produce a perfect tear, since a single sheet is useless.
    The roll is designed to unroll without breaking when given a swift tug at the end.
    The surface of toilet paper is laced with pheromones and other chemicals to make it irresistible to pets and small children so that they will be compelled to unroll and shred the entire roll.
    All of these things have a single purpose in mind: the more toilet paper that gets wasted, the sooner you will have to buy more.

    Which makes it even better. Who would want to hurt a poor little in this case big kitty. Spike strips who cares about blowing some tires and tearing up the roadway and peoples lawns and wrecking 100mph into other vehicles. I think it would be a good deterrent.

    I told you yesterday to go buy your own. It only a couple dollars. If you hit the dollar store you can get it for $1.
