Fold or Crumple?
Recently, Melody reminded me of this debate that went on last year. I posted it on my other site (5/4/2002) and got a lot of feedback so I thought I’d present it to the xanga community and see what they had to say about it:
Recently the eternal question of toilet paper etiquette has come up in our intelligent conversations: Fold or Crumple? Actually, I didn’t even know there was a question. Obviously, the most efficient and sanitary way is to fold your toilet paper when wiping your ass. However, it has come to my knowledge that a significant number of the population (well, at least a significant amount of my friends) crumples the toilet paper. What are you guys thinking?
First of all, folding is much more paper-efficient. We have a clean ass and save the trees at the same time. Crumplers have admitted that they use more toilet paper than us Folders per swipe (almost a 2:1 ratio!!!) Plus, as a Folder we have the benefit of just folding that t.p. over and using it a second time. You can’t do that as a Crumpler. Can you say inefficient?
Proponents of the crumple system have claimed that folding is inefficient because it takes time to fold the t.p. instead of just pulling a ton of it off the roll and crumpling it. Us folders would like to inform you that we have a system. When we sit down, we already begin the folding process: you pull out the t.p., fold it, and place it on your knee. So, when you’re done with your business, your paper is all ready: madd efficient.
Now on to the cleanliness factor. It is a commonly known fact that folding is much more clean: Folders are sure, without a doubt, that the waste stays on one side of the t.p. Crumplers, on the other hand, because they use a spherical device, have no such confidence. It can go anywhere! With the folding technique, you are further away from your butt. However, with the crumple technique, you have to “get in there.”
Now as the debate continues, I’d like to hear which system you guys support: Comment!!. Those of you who support the folding technique, show your support and feel free to add any benefits I may have missed. Those who crumple, show some support for your wicked wicked ways, and try to convince the rest of the world why crumpling is better.
you oughta know just why you’re getting no eProps… don’t make me link mofo… lolz~

Okay dude, I’ve met you only once, but you’ll have to make due… I’ve had this conversation for about a week with many people around my school and shit so here’s what I got:
Crumplers, like the ruff whatever it is of the toilet paper so they can scoop up their crap or whatever… SOME believe that folding means you only smear your crap around your ass, and that it doesn’t get it clean. See, I think there’s a misconception here, it’s not FOLDING… it’s more like WEDGING… which in itself sounds nasty, but that’s how you gotta get it done right?
Also, some questions you should ask that we asked…
1) do you sit or stand when you wipe? You’d be suprised about the differences~~~
2) do you wipe left handed or right handed? Some people think wiping with their dominant hand is nasty, cause you eat with it… (still you wash hands right???)
