    Yeah, Joy has to do it for you, but heaven forfend that you should have to change a roll yourself. The sad thing is that I know a few men like that. I’d like to stick their heads in the bog and hold ’em there ’til the bubbles stop! Feh!

    You noticed he didn’t close the door. My MIL used to do that too, she would spray freshener and walk out and leave the door open!

    Spoiled Baby Burl has to be told where to find the next roll of toilet paper in his own house?When I was a retail manager, a couple of my teen-age “sales associates” asked how to be hired into management…I used to tell them… you don’t get to be a manager by asking…you get to be a manager by taking out the garbage when it’s not your turn.And when I go into the bathroom, and find an empty toilet paper core in the holder, I know you still think like a teenager, not a manager.I guess Burl is also still stuck at 17.

    And Joy pays for it twice. (Not that I can feel sorry for the cretinous frump.) Once when she has to change the roll. And again on laundry day. Or maybe, like her bra, she only rinses his shorts. I know he gets extra mileage by turning them inside out to get another day out of them.

    Shouldn’t be a problem here. Burl is a hard working career man and Joy stays at home, so it’s her duty to put those tp rolls on the holders, keep the toilet lid up for Burl’s convenience, to make delicious homemade Stouffer’s meals and to take care of her retired model’s body so Burl won’t be looking elsewhere.

    Saucy…me too. But even at home, the teenage mind seems to discover ever more complicated ways to work around tiny chores.

    They’ll use up all the Kleenex before replacing the toilet paper…or eat sandwiches on crackers before getting a loaf of bread out of the freezer.

    It takes a few more years for them to develop the grown-up concept of responsibility… and some “adults” never do.

    Majyck Toad… Sorry, I’m not sure what you mean.I’d wouldn’t think a dishonest employee would unwind half a roll into a pocket, instead of taking the whole thing.And if it was used for its intended purpose, I’d say send the poor sick person home.
