in 1998 my folks took me on a road trip to see mt. rushmore and crazy horse monument. On the way back we stopped at a tourist trap which was "a town out of the 1850s." basically a guy bought a whole bunch of 1850s houses and stores and antiques and set it up to replicate a village.
anyway, they had an out house, and in the out house were two corn cobs. one corn cob was reddish/brown and the other was white. Apparently in the old days you'd go and use the darker one as TP, and then use the white one to check if you needed to use the darker one some more. It makes you really grateful that its not the 1850s when you learn stuff like that.

Well okay plunging a clog isn't a big deal so let me up the ante. Coincidentally just this weekend I had to mop up the bathroom after my toilet overflowed. No matter how many showers I take after that, the memory haunts me.
It's pretty simple arithmetic: lots of toilet paper + spotty flushing mechanism = increased likelihood of overflows

the solution to all of your problems is to stop pooping

Oh man, I know! How do people use just like 1 sheet, or 2?
Also, My friends and I had a discussion about whether or not we ball up the paper and then wipe, or if we wipe with the sheet, then fold it and wipe again. This second option seems crazy to me. I do the first. Why would you fold your poop? It does not make sense to me!

I do the second one! It is very efficient.
