Folder or wadder?

Despite NBN's sig claiming there are two types of people, him and not him, or something to that effect, There are in fact two types of people:

Folders and wadders. Which type are you?

Pull off 4 squares, marry the ends, halve it again, then wipe once. Fold once more and wipe again. Discard. Repeat as necessary.

Wadding is only acceptable in extreme cases of internal distress, where the 8-ply won't sufficiently protect your hands from ick.

If you need even MORE detail, I'm happy to provide it. :hafucking

Twice loosely around the hand, using the thumb to hold the initial pass, from a loose roll. Having to pull it from a dispenser throws off the accuracy. Wipe, fold, wipe, drop, repeat as necessary.

Wadder. Folding takes entirely too much time. Yank preferred distance off the roll, rip and wad.

This is no precision engineering called for, just a sufficient amount of surface area. The varying surface of the wad provides the best possible initial cleaning surface.

Wadder.

But I'm reminded of a lesson a drill sergeant gave us in boot camp on how to efficiently use one square sheet of paper. Fold the sheet into fours and rip a small piece off one corner and save the torn piece. Unfold the sheet and you'll have a hole in the center in which you insert your middle finger. Wipe. Now grasp the sheet at the base of your middle finger and pull up removing the...uh...waste as you go. Next use the small piece you tore off to clean under your finger nail.

Luckily I've never been destitute enough to need this lesson...but you never know. :p

This, coming from a representative of an entity that doesn't flinch at the cost of $800 toilet seats...sheesh.

$800 toilet seats? Who What?

Also,

Folder. Lately even doing a final pass with a moistened baby wipe since they seem to be everywhere these days.

I believe it was more aimed at being a light hearted lesson in field expediency than cost effectiveness.

But then, who am I but a small cog in a giant machine.

*shakes head*
You guys are silly.

What if you do both? Fold first, wipe, then wad for second pass. There's no option in the poll for that. . . Do I have to choose one way or the other??

***cjjulie thinks back to last good ah well um....session***

wadder, looker until it is clean. Ahhhhh very content

um I think I need to change my name to something more anonymous

Elspode · 12-22-2004, 02:22 PM

Why? Are you famous?

Pressure wash followed by a quick buff and polish with half an old sack.

Pie · 12-22-2004, 08:54 PM

Mostly depends on the quality of the wiping material. If it's cottony-soft, (ie, what I buy at home!) I wad -- it's the most expedient. If it looks or feels like sandpaper (what most commercial establishments and my cheaper friends seem to have) I fold, to prevent over crinolated surfaces that just add to the agony.

Start by scraping briskly on the coarse bark of a mature maple or ash, move to a smooth black birch then a white to check for streak finally a fist full of duff from the forest floor. Ah... outdoorsy freshness.
