For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don't want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That's ludicrous!

That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use "less" when they should use "fewer"

Yellow mustard is the best version of mustard.

It took everything in my power to not downvote this, but given the thread I gave an upvote instead.

What kind of yellow mustard? American, English, and German mustards are all yellow but differ significantly in flavor and heat.

Considering the context of the thread, it's 100% radioactive yellow hot dog mustard.

I only ever eat Vatican City mustard. It's divine.

I hear the Pope smears it on everything, including altar boys.

I respect your view, but humbly suggest a visit to the Netherlands might change your opinion. The Netherlands turned me from a Never-Mustarder to a (Dutch) mustard appreciator, so...I mean...you do the math.

I have sampled a great deal of mustards from many far away lands, yet I still contest that the neon yellow American goop is somehow the best.

That’s like saying Miller Lite is the best kind of beer.
