Wed, 24 Sep 2008 15:45:25 +0000 http://www.toiletpaperentrepreneur.com/blog/?p=68#comment-410 Yeah, I wonder if I could make a business out of selling underwear that already have the skidmarks in them... you know how socks turn kind of yellow sometimes, and some company came out with the "gold toe" line of socks. What about calling it the "brown streak"? I could make it a stylish part of the design AND it would camoflague the actual brown stains.... what do you think???

I know this is way off subject...but Paul's question was, "figure out how to keep the brown skidmarks out of my underwear!" So my answer was do not wear any. Now, if he wants to keep the skids from his pants too...cork, bran, and some depends. Chase Mike,

I was thinking to myself, "now that is really well thought out." And I love the etiquette comments (thanks for telling me about the knife, I never knew that). Then I got to your response to Paul. To keep the skids down, don't wear underwear... YUCK. Doesn't that just move the skids from the tighty whiteys to the trousers? - Mike Chase,

Most didn't take but two I remembered. One, the knife blade faces the plate and two, the toilet paper is supposed to hang in front and not in back. It is actually bad etiquette to have it hang behind the roll...go figure, proper TP etiquette. Mike - you hit the nail on the head between a run of the mill business person and an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs go for it, make mistakes, learn, correct and keep going. True entrepreneurs will only "clench" if they have the pot in sight...a sweeter deal inked and have to use a little restraint. Read...I said a "little." Because I know it is hard for entrepreneurs to use any restraint because we go after what we want with great fervor.
