Students protest getting the bum's rash, er, rush:

TORONTO — A controversy over who gets better toilet paper at a Toronto university has critics denouncing what they call a two-tier system, while other Ontario institutions say their bathroom tissue is “equitably distributed.”

An investigation published this week by a student newspaper at Ryerson University showed the floors housing the president’s office and other administrative departments got two-ply toilet paper, while students received one-ply.

A university spokesman, Michael Forbes, told the Eyeopener that the practice has been in place for more than a decade but the newspaper says the reason for it is unclear.

The revelation has been met with light-hearted outrage as well as backlash from those who argue there are more pressing concerns within the education system.

Meanwhile, at least three other Ontario universities say everyone at their facilities gets the same treatment, toilet paper-wise.

The University of Toronto, the University of Guelph and the University of Ottawa all say they make no distinction between students, faculty and administrators.

A hint from Heloise, folks - rip off twice as much 1-ply toilet paper as you plan to use, fold it in half, and you've got 2-ply toilet paper.

You haven't noticed that they've lowered all the TP dispensers in order to prevent people from easily gathering a useful amount?

Actually, I haven't noticed this...

If I'm in a situation where I have to use a public restroom for a purpose which uhh, requires a "useful amount" of toilet paper, it means I haven't planned my day very well...

This is an experience I make a conscious effort to avoid...

On those rare occasions where I have failed in this, my primary focus is always on getting in and out of the restroom as quickly as possible; I don't really feeling like hanging around to measure floor-to-toilet paper rack distances...

You are an anomaly among men. Most seem to feel they can do that sort of private function on whatever gas station toilet is available. (Only if I could boil myself in bleach after.)

And even when no toilet is available.


I remember back in the summer of '75 and I was visiting Germany with my cousin and grandparents. On hte first day I noticed that Grandpa took extra napkins from the resturant. I asked why and he said "wait til you use the toilet paper". He was correct, one grade softer than 80 grit sandpaper.
