There is something that has me bamboozled me this morning and I wanted to take the time to share my puzzlement with others. As Yul Brenner said, in his "King and I" role as the King of Siam, "Tis a puzzlement!"
Have you ever wondered what businesses and commercial establishments do with the left-over, partial rolls of toilet tissue? Does this keep you awake at night, contemplating just what happens to them? Is there a depository for these unwanted and discarded items? Men may not share any interest in this quandry because women probably visit public restrooms on a far-greater basis than men. Still, this does not negate the importance of my query.
I have noted that there seem to be three basic methods for dealing with partial rolls of toilet tissue. One is that the business simply waits, until the roll is empty, and replaces it with a full roll. It does not matter than any number of potty patrons will go into this restroom, desperately in need of its facilities, only to find the toilet- tissue dispenser bare. Perhaps it is collusion between the paper company divisions that causes this method to be utilized. No toilet tissue encourages scrounging in purses or pockets for facial tissues.......often all made by the same corporation.
Another method - one of my personal favorites - is to wait until the little roll is almost out, replace it with a full roll, then leave behind the partial roll. Sometimes these partial rolls can really add up - having as many as eight to ten rolls lying about, waiting to either be used up or thrown out. My guess is that the business owner/managers hope that potty patrons will actually use up the ten-to-twenty inches of toilet tissue remaining on each cardboard roll.
The third method is really an assumption on my part because I have no visual proof......but I think some businesses and commercial properties change out the roll (either huge, large, or small) before the roll is empty and then take the partial with them. I want to know where these almost-used-up rolls go? Are there rooms, across this great nation, that are filling - floor to ceiling - with partial rolls of toilet tissue? Are they simply discarded? Are they donated to organizations that don't have enough funds to buy full rolls of toilet tissue?
I believe that solving this mystery could lead to more economic health in this country. Answering the query about what happens to partial rolls of toilet tissue could be a key to restoring an attitude of respect towards our embattled politicians. Why, soon the halls of Congress may not be able to afford to supply toilet tissue in their public and private restrooms and these little leftover rolls might bring a sense of comfort and confidence back to our nation's capital.
Something needs to.
