Secondly, upon review of the picture, you can easily tell that the quality of tear is far superior on the " under" side.

We don't have dispensers here in the DTR restrooms. The rolls are just placed on the top of the toilet tank.

I'm impressed that you finally got around to putting the lid back on the toilet tank. Bark kept trying to make the coffee in there.

I guess you didn't think about your reflection in the chrome paper holder being visible in the photo or you might have put your pants on before snapping the photo

Ha ha.....I made the rest of you look!

Whoa whoa whoa, not so fast.

First, my summary would be the roll on the left unrolls too much per pull because it is uncontrollable. That's why it has less. Lending credence to my theory.

Second, one can easily see there are two kinds of TP being compared here. A variable that I believe I mentioned as to the ease of making a clean tear at the perforations. The tp on the left has a round semicircle type pattern. The tp on the right has squares. I would be interested in you counting the number of stitches (for lack of a better term) of each perforation line. Also, are the size of the perforations the same? More research is in order.

I doubt that Obama or Pelosi even use TP.

I am no longer on site, but I am remotely monitoring the situation using the cameras cincy had hidden in the break room ( he was watching every move, but still can't get the coffee right)

I am going to say the perforation on the under roll, was actually stronger, just the superb directional fashion in which it has been mounted aids it in better dispensability. For the record, the paper on the right is softer, possibly even heavier ply, and double quilted, and overall it has still shown to be less desirable.... The facts speak for themselves here Shorts!

As many of you scientifically inclined people know, the only way to get to the bottom of this was to conduct what is called a "double blind" test.
I don’t quite know how to do a double blind test but tried it anyway.
I set up a roll dispensing unit like in the picture where you have one roll over and one roll under.
I than put on a blind fold and turned out the lights.
I than attempted to utilize the rolls.
When I finally unmasked and turned on the lights I found that both rolls had been emptied with equal amounts in the toilet,
walls, ceiling and bottoms of my feet.
So my scientifically based conclusion is this:
It just doesn’t matter especially if you are not able to find your butt in the dark with both hands.

Let's not argue about over/under! Perhaps we should figure out ways to save tp! Remember to save the little "circle" you take out of the middle! You'll need it to clean under the finger nail!

Based upon the voluminous amount of unobtainable information available from nominal sources, and the complete elucidation of the ambiguous supposedly indisputible results of this testing, I am applying for an honorable degree in the field of "Butt Wiping" from the college of hard knocks. I cannot see how any knowledgable board could refuse administering a degree to me in this field.

All favorable recommendations from the studious members of this illustrious group on this outstanding forum addressed to the governing board would receive my deepest gratitude.

Sincerely,

Robert "ButtWipe" King
