Sharing a Place #1 - The Over/Under

Job transfers have been arranged and settled.

The furniture is where we want it.  Things have drawers and cabinets.

The cardboard boxes are gone.

There is Internet and a TV.

I have no pants on.

Move-in complete.  Everything is now as it should be.

As I've said before, this apartment is not mine alone, but a joint venture between myself and [I still haven't come up with a catchy blog name for my girlfriend].

Now, this is the first time I've lived with someone other than my parents.  You might recall the first time I moved, I did so on my own.  Now that I live with someone, compromises on both sides have had to be made.  What household products to use, what shows to watch on TV, various food choices, when I have to wear pants -- you know, the usual.

But there is one thing that neither of us can come to an agreement on, and this is where you come in, my loyal fanbase (all five of you!).

It's time to play a game that I'd like to do from time to time in which I describe a situation where myself and my girlfriend have unwavering opinions, so please allow me to welcome you to the first installment of I'm Right! No, I am! or: How Quickly Can I Land Myself in the Doghouse.

So, here is this episode's situation.  It's one that people of the world have a definitive stance on.  Either on one side or the other.  A debate that has no middleground.  No compromise.  No mercy to the opposition.

Abortion?  Gay marriage?  Waterboarding?

No, children.  Toilet paper.

Yeah.  You read that right.  Toilet paper.  More specifically, the over/under debate that has plagued mankind since we stopped having to guess whether or not that leaf we were going to wipe our ass with was poison ivy or not.

Here are some stats regarding over/under in this very, very cool infographic.

Incidentally, this is great reading while you're on the shitter.  Mobile phones at the ready!

It is a war that will most certainly never be won. But, while neither side will taste its enemies' tears, a side must be chosen nonetheless.

So now it's in your hands.  One of us is over, the other -- under.  Help us decide how our bathroom's fate.  Comment here or Tweet your toilet paper configuration and why you prefer it that way.

Our time on the shitter is in your hands.
