Mr. Whipple Rolls Over

[+ Lucky]

Charmin toilet paper no longer lives such a charmed life. A utility company is asking its customers to stop flushing it. They are being coy about the reason, since Charmin claims to be totally flushable, but if you follow the link below,the answer may become clear. (No, it's not blowing in the wind!)

 

"A debate over toilet paper is causing a stink in an upscale Lafayette County neighborhood where the sewer company wants folks to stay away from one popular brand.

 

Ivy Sexton's local utility company wants her to "dump" her favorite brand of toilet paper. "I think this is outrageous!" she exclaimed."

Speaking of "Dump"

 

Maybe all the trouble is being caused by those Charmin bears who poop in the woods.

Has anyone asked MsGuy about this? Does he use Charmin? What brand does he recommend? What remedies does he offer? Is MsGuy a Charmin (or any other kind of) bear?

 

Inquiring minds want to know.

 

Best regards,

AS-

 

I have to assume your relevence question is a straight one. No offense intended.

 

Therefore I offer the fact that the service company quoted was in Oxford, MS which is a prominent and famous college town which includes the U of MS and home of William Faulkner. Those places are in MS and must be in close proximity to where ever MsGuy lives.

 

If this was not your intended post question, please repeat or further explain.

 

Best regards,

The last line of the article says something to the effect: Plumbers find that sometimes people use too much paper. What exactly is too much toilet paper?

I think given the choice of too much or too little I would go with too much.

I'm currently stocked up with the Walmart store brand, thank you very much. (I checked ) And any sewage utility servicing Ole Miss University is gonna be overloaded with shit regardless, IMHO.

 

Personally I would love to have a bidet but that's way too foo foo for my neck of the woods. Folks talk about me enough already.

Just remember, MsGuy, the only thing worse than being talked about is NOT being talked about.

Perhaps all this could be solved if everyone just installed composting toilets.

Is the actress standing second from right (middle section of clip) the same gal that played Mrs. Slocombe on "Are You Being Served"? Looks/sounds just like her to me.

No, its Hermione Gingold a great character actress from the 1950's.

I think AdamSmith already posted a low tech version of your suggestion.

Agreed, but this one you could install in the basement and not have to brave cold winters.

You're right. :o Thanks.

True but when AdamSmith's version gets full, you just pick up the house and move it to a new hole.

Further, I knew an old country gent born around 1900 whose wife finally browbeat him into installing indoor plumbing in the mid-1960s. He never used it, continuing to prefer the outhouse even in midwinter. He found the notion of pooping in the house just too disgusting.

My dogs don't like to poop in the house either. They will hold it for a really long time rather than go on the paper.

Flushability

 

I think people would do a better job and use less toilet paper if more people used moist toilet tissues. However, their increasing use has raised concerns about their degree of 'flushability' and it is expected that their composition will soon be regulated to ensure they are easily dispersible.
