Fastblack..........Excellent writeup on the subject. (I was going to give you a thumbs up symbol, but thought twice about that while in this thread.)
FieroFetish........My grandfather (rest his soul) actually went through the same motions as your "build thread". He described the "build" through the eyes of a WWII soldier, stationed in Eastern Europe. Thanks for the memory jolt! You made me smile.

Girls have it best, higher end places have squirters in the toilet to rinse themselves off, so they just need to dry off unless there going commando. Ive never asked if it was cold or warm water though.
I'm so glad I was able to just click on pg 2 and not have to read all the stuff that is probably on pg 1.
A bit off topic, but here's a blast from the past, regarding how it's done in combat. For you older guys, it may bring back--well--some kind of memory anyway. Being aviation, I didn't have this problem except when on a CAP. Civil Action Patrol, and it only happened about once/month, but regular infantry types encountered it every day when in the field, In each Combat Ration (precursor to MREs) there was one tiny little folded piece of TP, about the size of a folded paper napkin at McDonalds. That's ALL ya got and ALL ya had. You kept one in you pack at all times, or in a helmet liner or sweat band. Somewhere, back in the world, some stupid remf (probably in the supply and logistics field) had decided this was adequate for a 200 lb Marine or Soldier to clean his rear end with. Far from it. MTBF was about 1 second. Lag time between showers was in days or weeks. This led, to a preponderance of something we all know as -----dingleberries. How common? How preponderant?--well, when a US Army platoon leader later wrote a book about his experiences with (I think--the 173rd) The Herd, he included a little section on the subject--- : Dingleberries.
(The book "Platoon Leader" btw, is riveting--I reccommend it)

So I hadn't replied because I don't really ponder over things like that about myself. I waited and found that I fold a couple of folds then wad. So I do both... What does that say about me? I start out with a plan and somewhere in the process I just decide to wing it, so I can make it home in time for a drink?
hmmmm, so the best of both worlds huh?? you just may be ahead of us all on the evolutionary scale...maybe the 'perfect' man. ya got the wad to give you a firm grip on the cleaning mechanism (tp) PLUS the protection of the fold. only downside would be the excessive use of tp. i bet you're one of those guys that thinks that the restaurant never gives you enough dressing with your salad. maybe i'm wrong.

I am a wadder, and I'll give you my logical explaination. If you fold, you get the same uncomfortable scratches, where wadding gives a new array every time, allowing previous wounds to heal. It's also much faster.

Six squares, folded twice = 1.5 squares in hand to start. 1 wipe, reverse 1 fold, waste to inside. 2nd wipe, fold waste inside =.75 squares, last wipe. Works about 80% of the time. Over the top, 1 Pull, maybe 24" average from roller to floor. No Klingons circling Uranus.

This thread reminded me of a song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
quote
"Stranded" by Red Hot Chili Peppers: Stranded Stranded Stranded on a toilet bowl Stranded Stranded Stranded on a toilet bowl What do you do when you're stranded And there ain't nothing on the roll? To prove you're a man You must wipe it with your hand Stranded Stranded on a toilet bowl! Chacha!
We had a simialr one in the Boy Scouts but it was a bit more graphic.

Yep--a "How to wipe your butt" google search brings up loads of that stuff--including how to do it with a bus ticket. Being on dialup, I didn't bother to watch any of them.
