Jul. 2nd, 2006 04:02 pmSomeone was asking about whether toilet paper should be hung Over or Under. Here's my answer:
All other things being equal, it should hang Over. Over is how God taught his creations to hang the roll back in the Garden of Eden, and thus, Over still holds the force of Holy Writ.
However, Satan quickly taught the cats living with God's creations how to slap the roll so that it would unfurl its contents all over the floor of the Garden, and thus is it now writ that should one's cats learn this nefarious ploy, one is then, and only then, allowed to hang the paper Under.
