Sheryl's manifesto

Warning: This is stinky!

On my morning commute, flipping through 24hrs, I came across Sheryl Crow's endeavour to make the world a better place to live in. Being environment friendly in easy ways by reducing the consumption of toilet paper is how she envisions contributing towards the solution to global warming.

With all due respect to the environment, the hazards that global warming poses and all the sincere citizens who are striving in their own ways to make this planet a better place to live in, I could not resist posting a statement I found rather funny. Courtsey 24hrs, as Sheryl Crow states on her blog:

"Although my ideas are in the earliest stages of development, they are, in my mind, worth investigating." Her toilet paper manifesto would limit how many squares of toilet paper Americans use in a sitting. "Now, I don't want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where two to three could be required," she wrote.

As I read the word pesky, I started laughing out loud in the transit. I'm sure people around may be thinking I have gone crazy. Sure I was, as my imaginative faculties started spreading their wings.

As if this wasnt enough for someone starting the day, 24hrs' daily Poll asked readers if they could make 1 square of tissue work for their visit. I turned the page.

Update: 83% declined with a strong No Way to the Poll!
