experience is everything

while watching television one day, john and i saw a commercial for toilet paper.

it was an ad explaining how this toilet paper was new and improved.

the ad exclaimed that this toilet paper was "now more absorbent!"

john, with a great deal of derision, clicked his tongue and said "pffppptt, since when does toilet paper need to be absorbent?!?"

i looked at john and blinked.

i continued to look at john with a bit of a quizical and incredulous look on my face.

finally john, who had been watching me blink said "what?"

with my head cocked to one side i finally said "um, well, it's important to me that it's absorbent several times a day..."

john said something along the lines of "oh, yeah, right..."

i guess it's not something you think of if you don't pee from something tucked away in your body...
