and no new projects going on at the farm other than watching green stuff grow, my mind goes a bit astray. I travel a lot - never reached Diamond status with Delta but a regular Platinum status guy. Not a badge of honor...just means I travel too much. At any rate...thought I'd bring up a subject that surely must be common to many of you - the infamous big wheel toilet paper racks in airport stalls that use what seems to be some kind of super thin wax paper for toilet paper. I do all I can to avoid the airport stalls, but every now and then, nature calls at an unfortunate time. And invariably, there's the big wheel with the paper hidden somewhere in it's bowels that requires one to fish for a piece to grab a hold and slowly begin pulling, fearing you're gonna snap it and have to start over.

Anybody else have such disdain to those things or is just me???
 
Man that trip to NY with wife mustve been a cluster. You need to put on your Bose noise cancelling headgear and listen to some Zac Brown before you go completely off the deep end. :)
But yes you are right that sandpaper stuff disappears into a black hole of the universe instead of making it to the black hole it for which it was intended. Maybe you need to go sit by the beaver pond that doesn't exist anymore for a while. Thanks for the thot provoking post.

We always called it the John Wayne paper. It's rough, tough and doesn't take shit off of anybody.

How well I know! And if it's rolled up in that wheel, trying to find the end piece is an adventure that takes a contortionist.

dogghr...Pleased to report the beavers are now back at work in that pond. Just happened to time our NYC visit with the world Pride week with NYC as the epicenter. It was quite the spectacle to say the least. I've had my fill of NYC for quite some time to say the least! Did get to see the Bravos beat up on the Mets while we where there so not a total loss. And...trying to pull out enough of that wannabe toilet paper from the black hole didn't help any.

LMAO, I understand Triple. I could have so much fun with word play thruout that paragraph, but I don't want to get banned. Glad you got to see some good ball play.
 
If you travel that much then you are probably staying in hotels. Snag a half or quarter used roll before leaving the hotel and put in in your carry on luggage. That way you have your own stash ready to go when you are even if heaven forbid you have to use the toilet on the plane. Also, you aren't use the toilet in the Sky Club? I would assume they only stock two ply there.
 
I used to live in airports and hotels, that’s not an exaggeration my counterpart who had the same job didn’t even keep an apartment leased. When he wasn’t on the road he stayed in hotels on his own dime...(points). He was a masochist but meant he was out of the country 335 days a year and got that first 90k tax free. Anyway, that’s a long way of saying I used to travel way too much and don’t miss it one damn bit. I did marvel however at the number of supposedly nice hotels that also employed the John Wayne toilet paper. They’d go to great lengths to market the soaps and shampoos as the finest French milled whoopty do brand stuff and give you the one ply prison paper. I always thought they were missing out on revenue by not having a $5 toiletries upgrade for the good stuff. Lord knows I’d have found room in the expense account for the good stuff.

The only thing worse Triple C is being in the Islamic world when the one ply is sopping wet because someone got carried away with the sprayer. I won’t even get started on Asia’s squatty potties. There are places that make an airport look like a good option.
