"Essence of masculinity," a haiku, by Sabrina Qedesha, age 33 3/4.

An empty tube on
Toilet paper dispenser;
New roll sits on top.

Hehehe. When you think about it, though, there is implicit in this, a dig at women who expend large amounts of energy expressing aggravation at this common sort of male laziness. ;)

I'm reminded of Erma Bombeck saying that she pictured her husband and kids, in the event of her sudden death, wandering around holding the toilet paper spindle and saying to one another, "I thought she showed *you* how to change it."

Hehehe! And that's not even touching the "over or under" debate...

*flees from the bitter and never-to-be-resolved over/under debate*

I love it when you talk dirty, baby. :)

I think you may have just developed a chromosome free gender test.

Take a picture of that roll on top of the empty roll.
Show that picture to the subject.
If they say "What?"-It's a boy.
If they sigh or get aggravated-It's a girl.

Hehehey that sounds great!!
Sohpia, it's brilliant! Sooo funny!!
and you may not wish to enter the over-under debate, but I say there isn't even a debate : it's blatantly OVER! Patterened paper proves it.

Oh, yay! That's good. Yes, I will carry that piece of logic with me.

There are days when I would claim that haiku sums up the essence of my husband. Of course, that's not true, but there are days when you'd be hard-pressed to convince me it's not. ;-)

{{laugh}} Ok so maybe that's a little too accurate...

may I borrow this?

I promise to give credit where credit is due...
