And besides, haven't you ever wanted to just rebel against the laws of "roll it overness" just once in your life? Come on, break those ties that bind. Do something really radical. Roll that toilet paper UNDER!!!

Teetering at the edge of creating graphic visuals, allow me to point out one simple fact. When one is sitting next to the roll, one's vantage point is adequate enough to find the end regardless of whether it comes from the top or bottom. However, when one is standing up, one's perspective is quite different. Looking down upon the roll, if it comes over the top, it is easily visible. But if it comes off of the bottom... from that vantage point you can't see the end until it's practically on the floor, because your standing there rotating the thing around and around trying to find the covetted end square, muttering to yourself about not finding it, and perhaps you missed seeing it the first five times it passed by.

I guess a bidet and a towell might eliminate this discussion altogether.
