TP Bandit Strikes!

Toilet paper is an amazing substance. It's sturdy enough to be cleansing, yet gentle enough to not harm one's most gentle areas. It's strong enough to take some abuse, but practically dissolves in water. What an incredible invention. I have a lot of respect for TP, and therefore little respect for those who abuse this valuable natural resource.

Such abuse usually comes in the form of pranks. The disastrous waste of most likely virgin wood pulp displayed above is the result of a prank celebrating someone's last day at a job. What a mess. TPing things, including cars, trees, friends, bedrooms, etc., is an American tradition, right up there with putting a bag of burning dog shit on a neighbor's door step.

However, I've never seen anyone TP a toilet before. That is, up until this morning at work. Below the fold I've included some images of what this looks like.


Now, obviously I'm joking about something. This incident at my work place was not a prank. It was the result of someone simply using the men's room. But OH MY GOD why the hell did he need to use so much toilet paper? There was at least 5 layers on the seat alone, and massive wads in the bowl. I can't wrap my mind around it.

People, toilet paper does not grow on trees. It's made from them. Please use it sensibly. If you're going to pull a prank on someone, try wrapping all their stuff up in newspaper instead.

Ew. It looks mummified.

Umm, two things dude. First off, toilet paper - not a natural resource. Secondly, while TP pranks are indeed a waste of paper materials, I don't think they exactly merit the same reaction as other, more pressing global warming issues.

It looks like a flower. Maybe you've got a post-modern Georgia O'Keefe at your workplace!

It looks like this guy also wanted to aborb the germs in the water with TP.
