In her quest to save the planet from the inferno of Global Warming, the folk singer Sheryl Crow suggested that individuals should ration their usage of TP. According to Washingtonpost.com Ms. Crow has also developed a a line of clothing that includes what she is calling a "dining sleeve." Said sleeve would be detachable and would be easily removed and replaced with a new sleeve in case the wearer happens to be slovenly and require a clean one. Although she failed to mention this in the article, but I'm sure the sleeves would come in an array of colors and designs to to fit one's lifestyle. The sleeve is multi-purpose as well, giving Kleenex a run for their money during cold and flu season.
The most enthralling of Ms. Crow's green initiatives, is her TP ration.
"I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting. Now, I don't want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required."

YEAH, aiight
Fighting the green fight is commendable. Captain Planet would be beaming with pride. Let's not get carried away though, I'm sure Sheryl Crow won't mind having people not want to shake hands with her, but what about the millions of people who work in food services? One square is most certainly not enough for them!
Mother Nature is probably giving Sheryl a "Good looking out Sheryl!" From me she gets a big fat YEAH aiight! and an eye roll.
How about we ration something else. The millions of Watchtowers given out by the Jehovah's witness posse that go unread. There should be a limit on how many Watchtowers can go to press. I mean they print Harry Potter quantities of pamphlets no one reads. Sheryl.... can you get at that?
