Title: Scrunch or Fold?
Post by: Nosher on 28 March 2013, 08:11:01 PM
I have just witnessed the new Andrex ad for bum fodder :-[

I thought the fun chaps on Pendraken Forum might be up for a giggle, so which are you?

A scruncher or a folder? (And what pray god what does each say about you?)

Answers on a postcard to: cutelab@andrew.co.uk

P.S can you tell that:

1. I'm at work bored shitless :(
2. I don't give a sh*t if I get the sack for posting NSFW ;)

Scruncher.

Odd actually, given my OCD tendencies towards other things in life...   :-\

Is this a 'must see' advert ?
Can't wait. :)

On a similar theme....
Have to say I was most impressed with a flyer that came through the mail recently advertising the 'Squatty Potty'. (I'm not joking)
Who thought that name up ?
I suppose it sticks in the memory....But could you seriously buy something called that ? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Whoever voted 'Other', are you using the economy technique?  Tear a little piece from the middle of a single sheet, put your finger through the resulting hole, and then use the leftover piece to clean under your finger nail?

Folder for me. But when I lived in Nigeria, toilet paper was a luxury, so it was very much a case of 'when in Rome...'. Needless to say I had very, very short fingernails!

For those that are interested, this is why you do not use your left hand to give anything to anyone in many developing world countries, apart from it also being the way of the Devil, hence sinister from the latin for left IIRC.

Both?  What if you tear off a long piece, fold it and then scrunch it?

On a related topic: What about that other important question?

Do you hang the roll of paper with the paper next to the wall, or away from it? And does it matter if you're in the northern or southern hemisphere?

All answers can go to the same address, I would think.

@Techno, the question is still if you fold or scrunch that flyer...

To the last question....It just went straight into the recycle bag 'as was'...So I suppose you'd count that as folded. :)
To the first....I hang the loo roll away from the wall...Mrs Techno does the opposite. :-\

If you sail in the Greek Islands in summer, when water is at a premium, they don't allow you to put the paper down the loo, but collect it in a bin by the side of said receptacle. In thirty degree heat you can imaging the smell!  =)

I'm a scruncher, by the way.  :)

I could never get the hang of those, Kev. If you see what I mean.  :D

Long drop bogs are better than Western style toilets when there is no water for days at a time. The smell is unbelievable in 40 degree plus heat :-&.

Nice one Herts  ;D . I have a Belgian mate here and he has no electric in his long drop so you can imagine what a party at his house is like when you have had a few  :o
Yes Steve not nice at all,
