One of those crazy thought interludes

[W Balboos GHB]

First, let me say that those who use their lawn, sand, corncobs, a garden hose, or similar devices need not read on. Background: For the rest of us, I was wondering about something. Not long ago I had a multi-roll package of bathroom tissue (toilet paper, ass-wipes, &etc) that lacked perforations. The papers grain runs the long way, along the length of the roll, which added a minor challenge to tearing off an aliquot for its designated task. Now, thankfully, things are back to normal. Question to ponder: As prices vary by location, perhaps give a a percentage of the cost/roll, but how much extra would you pay for a roll if perforations were optional (vs. tearing or having a shared scissor at hand). OK - it's crazy and off the wall (pun intended) of a question, but life's full of little things (another pun) in the background that make things go smoother.

:wtf: This is such a defect that I'd only pay extra if I could return it. Used. In a box with a prepaid shipping label.

Is that a euphemism? :laugh:

Not only would I not pay, I would bill the manufacturers of perforation-less toilet paper for garbage disposal.

Maybe that's a better idea than I had - I just requested they send me the perforations and an installation manual.
