Toilet Paper And Data Centers


Dear Heloise,

I bet you can’t think of a better use for toilet paper

than the one originally intended. Me neither,

but here’s a close second.


When you have house guests,

instead of giving them  a night light, pay out toilet paper

from the bathroom dispenser to the edge of their bed.

I use several iPhone tripods to set the line at waist level.


If you hear one or more of those topple in the middle of the night

it can be quite gratifying (even if there’s a little muttering to go with),

because you know they’re using your System and saving electricity.


I know this can't totally compensate for Data Centers

being built all over the US, but surely it is a step in the right direction.

And if everyone followed my example, the world would be a different place.
