Why don't they make 4 ply toilet paper?

[Commander Kinsey]

Why don't they make 4 ply toilet paper? Everybody folds 2 ply to make 4 anyway.

[Brian Gaff (Sofa)]

They do, but nobody buys it as there is not much on a roll. Now I'd love to know the thinking that made you post this query to a diy group. I can hardly think anyone does DIY loo rolls unless you use torn up newspapers. Brian

[Archibald Tarquin Blenkinsopp]

The action of putting the sheets in paralell is worthy of a DIY discussion, as indeed is the tendancy for digital "breakthrough" on off the shelf solutions.

If Mr Speed thought outside the box a little more, his solution could well be dietary!

It comes as a bit of a shock that he has the problem though, I would have thought from reading his posts that there was nothing left to need a WC roll for.

How is it the perforations of two ply (or even three ply) paper always line up nowadays? They never used to!

If instead of this new fangled nonsense people stuck to Izal Medicated, we wouldn't be having this thread :-)

I did a quick search to see if Izal was still made. It seems that there just aren't enough oddballs on the planet anymore:-(

They always used to, unless you peeled off one of the layers to start with, ending up with every sheet having alien layers.

or stips of Daily Mail on a hook, we wouldn't be having this thread :-)

I hope you got a computer program to do that. otherwise you need a new hobby.

[Commander Kinsey]

How dare you refer to me as Mr Speed!

[Commander Kinsey]

Did you never work that out? It's because they've got out of line. Simply take one revolution of a single ply off, and they line up again. You've managed to use one more revolution of one of the plies. Still happens to me just as often as it always used to, especially when they put way too much glue at the start and it's a bugger to get it going.

[Commander Kinsey]

How did people have any skin left on their buttocks after using that stuff? And how did it get through the U bend?

[Xeno]

Indeed, you are ever so slow on the uptake!

[Commander Kinsey]

Then maybe you should explain yourself more clearly.

I got those from the program, but I prefer using raw brain power. Like these:

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez -- anagram "Taxes are crazi and coolio!"

Sabine Hossenfelder -- anagram "She is on a self-bender." =========== [Self bender] When one over-indulges with alcohol & drugs at home alone. Generally a combo of 3 drugs is required for a true self bender. Also known by the slang form "spender" I had a real self bender last night. I had a real spender last night. by -JPA- Nov 04, 2006 -- urbandictionary

There's no way anyone could make up anagrams in their head like that. You must have used a program for those too. Unless you're severely autistic and no fun in a scrabble game.

[David P]

My brother used to beat me at Scrabble maybe 1 out of 10 games. The first one, I selected the word "taxes" and then fiddled with the remaining letters until I got it. The 2nd one, I plugged into Anagram Generator, didn't see any good ones, but saw the word "bender", and then fiddled with the remaining again, until it magically appeared! I've done quite a few good ones over the years; you won't get 'em like this from the Generator, because I use a lot of names and altered spellings, abbreviations, slang, interjections, foreign words, etc:
