It was an easy errand to run on the way home ~ all I needed was toilet paper.
What I found was “Bath Tissue.”
What’s that ~ something to use while you’re in the tub – to wash with ? Out of the tub – to dry with ?
Do shower stalls count – for anything ?
No wonder English is so hard to learn – can’t we just say, well, what would you say?
Tissue to wipe your privates with after you urinate or have a bowel movement?
Or “take a dump” as my 16-year-old nephew says.
Euphuisms ~ can’t live without ’em; ’cause I just can’t say a**-wipe !
Bath tissue is what I bought, a GREAT BIG 24 roll package.
With Halloween coming up, it might come in handy ~ with 24 rolls I figure I could take a shower, then answer the door wrapped in bath tissue~ mummy style !
(If you need more wipe-info, here’s a real reference ~ “Toilet Paper” )

Thanks for the chuckle! Seems like we’re always having to rename everything. Sometimes it boggles my mind how freaking stupid we are. Or…am I searching for another word here….pretentious (darn, I probably spelled that wrong because I AM a hick at heart).
But really, BATH tissue? This is stupid. But, yes, funny!
Thanks for non-pretentious comment ~ yep, BATH tissue – ugh.
For someone that works too many hours a week – how do you still manage to have “too much time on your hands”? Consider the state of the economy, the time’s we live in blah – blah – blah! Just kidding, who could possibly pass up an opportunity to stick it to the “bath tissue” industry!
Well, everyone has to stop and smell the bath tissue sometime.
Euphemisms in advertising – a big subject.
