Toilet Paper & Roller Coasters

Do you ball or fold your toilet paper?

Have you ever given thought to that before? Will you now? At least the next time you start to take some off the roll?

It's a simple question, and yet it begins to expose the very fabric of your existence on this planet. There's no in-between on this. People do one or the other, and I've never heard of switchers. Never.

This also conforms to my other theory on people: Either you really like roller coasters, or you don't. There is a very hard split among the populace. Even as you read this, you know exactly where you fall.

To clarify, this is not a question about whether you ever ride a roller coaster. This question is attitudinal, not behavioral. What I'm discussing is whether you really enjoy it, or really don't. One test is to ask yourself, "When the cars slow down as they approach the loading cabin for the coaster, am I relieved that it's over, or severely diappointed?" Again, hard split.

Few things in this world are as black and white as these two subjects. There's really no gray. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. And is probably a communist.

And in case you were wondering, I fold, and I love roller coasters. So, ah....now you know.
