In light of my most recent poll...
So why is it called toilet paper (aka TP)? I mean it's not used specifically for the toilet... unless one of us hose slingers misses. So then isn't it technically butt paper? You can (silently) exchange any other names that may come to mind here. Most of the time it's used on and for our own person, for a place that none of really wants to see. Well I know I don't and if it comes to pass that I should die without seeing my own, that's fine by me.
I suppose you can call it whatever you want as long as you don't call it your left hand, because that's what was used w-a-y back when before the invention of said paper and pre corn cobs. How do I know THIS? The History Channel of course. The other night they had on a program about the toilet. How it came to be, what they (civilization) did before it's invention (and consequently paper) and how it's evolved to what we know today.
In our house, TP pulls double duty... it's also Kleenex. That is to say that it doesn't pull double duty on the same mission. One gets folded and blown and the other get wadded and... well you know the rest.
