    usually the roll gets used up before me or my roomate get motivated enough to go thru the incredible hassle of setting it up on the dispenser.

    but when it makes it on there, i do prefer the front roll-out. it just seems so natural. a front roll-out can make a good duke transcendant.

    True story: A few winters ago some friends of mine rented a cabin for the school year outside of town where their water had to be brought in by truck. In order to conserve water, they only used the toilet when they had to go number two. When they went number one, they simply went off the back of their deck. Now, imagine just how much of that built up over the course of our typical Alaska winter. It was quite a sight.

    Oh, and front.

    They did a study on this back when i was like 13 years old and it was in a magazine. It said like 80% of men like to have their toilet paper coming over the top where as women like it under....

    As for me...Top

    the "If it's yellow let it mellow if it's brown flush it down" thing?

    SmeggySmeg - most everybody is probably out having a good time or asleep. At least on this side of the world. They may respond eventually. :)

    Finally, about the toilet roll: over the front. Otherwise, it's too close to the wall and hard to get the paper off of it. Everybody should know this. :)

    Why would anyone want it backwards, bumping up against the wall so that you can't get your fingers behind the paper?

    Knowing and caring about details like this seperates the thinkers from the sleepwalkers. The advancers of civilization from the usless wastes of evolutionary time.

    Back.

    When it's "installed" that way, you can yank the paper in a rush and the angle will allow the perforated parts to tear because they push against the actual roll. When strung over the top, the roll will just spin out of control, and you have a string of useless paper.

    I actually got to see a presentation that included this.

    1. Who has trouble tearing toilet paper?

    2. Who actually took the time to make a presentation on toilet paper?

    3. Did you really take time to go to a presentation on toilet paper?

    and for the record...
    Front.

    BACK.

    And if you have kids or cats you should agree. I've never seen a cat or small child completly empty a roll by playing with it when it was set up to the back. Other than that I can't think of a reason that it would matter.

    I was in love with a gal who preferred the roll from behind. I like it from the front. I changed just for her. We later broke up and I regret not having a spine and not staying with my standards.

    I know what you're talking about, but I never have trouble with this if it is coming from the front. I always yank the tp loose with a quick flick of the wrist. Sometimes in the past I would use the wrong form and toliet paper would be going everywhere. These days though I have it down to an art and always get a clean break.

    I'd like to hear more about this presentation.
