Please dear members would you let my wife know that once again she is wrong and end this once and for all.
I'm not smart enough to know how to set this up as a poll but if someone else would like to set it up it could possibly help thousands of us that have sat back in silence and changed the roll.
Thanks for taking on this crappy challenge.

The answer is simple for us "operation" guys. When you are seated on your throne, if the toilet paper holder is below the level of the top of your thigh, the paper should come from the top so you dont have to reach way down to get it. If the toilet paper holder is above the level of your thigh, the paper should come from the bottom.

Default A little over the top !!

Com'on Kids

It all depends who changes the roll , if men do it , it comes over the top and if ladies do it , it comes from the bottom .
Nobody knows why , they just do.!!!!
I was told this years ago in college , (It may have been in an Art Appreciation class), and it reverts back to the old OUTHOUSES, men tear the front pages out of the Sears catalog and ladies tear out the back.....This was the proper protocol , however we didn't abide by this as we had a Monkey Wards catalog..

gone with the wind fumar (bad joke) .....

Easier to tear with one hand when over the top. But if it comes to a choice of under or none I'll take under

You know that that's the ONLY way. How else is my cabin steward to do his/her job?

I once discovered my tp here at home pointed; the cleaning crew had just left! I haven't seen that again!

I've found that when one reaches a certain age, one has more time to ponder these mysteries of life.

This was an ongoing dilemna for Ann Landers for years. I do not think it was ever resolved. My opinion.. as long as it is there I do not care!

Manufactures try to keep the paper sanitary. Why would you pull the paper from under, cleaning the wall before it gets to you? Also why would you want to stretch another 4 inches to reach the paper?

Many moons ago when I was an event planner, we use to calculate the number of porta-johns needed by including the number of kegs consumed the previous year.

If the pun wasn't intended, it should have been.
