Archie Bunker Was Right!

So, the 1891 US patent for toilet paper shows that the paper rolls over from the top. I learned this from "All In The Family" when I was a kid where Archie Bunker set Edith and the Meat Head right about mounting the toilet paper properly. I have a habit of always switching it, still, if it is hung incorrectly where ever I take a throne break.
It has been absolutely solved. No further debate!

My cat whole heartedly agrees with you Whig..."There is only one correct way!"
BTW: After leaving home my children finally realized that the magically reappearing roll of toilet paper doesn't really exist.

Your cat is a fan of "All In The Family", it appears. No Meat Head cat there!

Fun is where you hide all of the toilet paper and leave a tube with a couple sheets on it.
...at a buddy's place
...when they've been drinking and eating mexican chow.
...and you leave.
Not that I have ever done a thing like that
Warning: Make certain your buddy does not have a wife or girl friend. A vacation in hell is a walk in the park when it comes to babes and no TP.

I had a canvas of the toilet paper blueprint made years ago and hung it in the downstairs bathroom

Frankly my dear, I don't give a s**t what the patent shows, it is easier to snap off a few sheets one-handed, when hung the other way, and, is less attractive to cats. My cats don't like TP - they much prefer the paper towel roll in the kitchen, or worse yet if someone leaves a a PT (not TP) roll laying down somewhere . . .

Well, Dick, you do live on the left coast where all logic is thrown to the wind!

If trying to figure out which way the toilet paper roll should dispense frustrates you then my I suggest an alternate method to clean your bottom.
Unfortunately, you still run into a problem with the damn cats!
