During a recent visit to a public restroom, I discovered my roll of toilet paper was not locked in.

When I pulled, it snapped off and hit the ground rolling… right under the door. Where, I’m guessing, a group of women stood there, looking down at it.

I tried gently tugging on the end still in my hand, hoping to “reel it in”.  (You should try this.  It’s a pretty interesting lesson in physics or science or whatever.)

Eventually, I had no other option than to call out into the abyss, begging random strangers for help.

After a few seconds of silence, it came shooting back under the door.

Sigh…
