T.P.

OK, I don’t want to offend any tender sensibilities out there, but here’s what I want to know; when did toilet paper lint become an issue? I was restocking the reading room a couple of days ago and noticed the proud announcement on the nine pack, “LESS LINT.” This is a product I’ve been using for a long, long, long time and I didn’t even know T.P. (or A.W. as it was called in my college dorm) had lint. And if it does have lint I cannot imagine what kind of a problem it could cause. Perhaps ‘American Standard’ needs to modify their equipment to add a ‘lint trap.’ Anyway, I’ve managed to survive 72 years without succumbing to the scourge T.P. lint, maybe I’ve got a few more years before it gets me.
