A square too far.
From http://www.sherylcrow.com/news.aspx?nid=7786

I propose a limitation be put on how many sqares (sic) of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting.

...

I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required.
My ass may be exceptionally spacious, but I can't imagine how anyone can get by with ONE SQUARE and keep their underwear neat. Unless she's arguing that mud-stains are a sacrifice worthy of saving trees. As for:
When presenting this idea to my younger brother, who's judgement (re-sic) I trust implicitly, he proposed taking it one step further. I believe his quote was, "how bout just washing the one square out."
Well, as long as we're washing our shit-stained undies, I guess it doesn't really matter. :-)

I think of Sheryl Crow every time I'm sitting on the toilet using at least a good 20 squares of tp ever since I read about that on the CBC.

We already lost our hi-flow toilets (and I am one of those people who often needs to flush 2-3 times with lo-flows, which means that more water is wasted than before), now this! It's like people are trying to make bathroom duties unpleasant and rustic.

Well, her ideals would create a neat black market for unrestricted toilet paper dispensers. :-)
