Crow On The Crapper

Sheryl Crow (whose music I do actually enjoy) has some "interesting" (read crazy) ideas that she blogged about on Earth Day:

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. When presenting this idea to my younger brother, who's judgement I trust implicitly, he proposed taking it one step further. I believe his quote was, "how bout just washing the one square out."
...
It is my latest, very exciting idea for creating incentive for us all to minimize our own personal carbon footprints. It's a reality show. (I feel pretty certain NO ONE has thought of this yet!).  Here is the premise: the contest consists of 10 people who are competing for the top spot as the person who lives the "greenest" life. This will be reflected in the contestant's home, his business, and his own personal living style.  The winner of this challenging, prestigious, contest would receive what??....  a recording contract!!!!!

OK Sheryl.  In a show of solidarity on the day after Earth Day (I would have blogged this yesterday, but I was out Soaking Up The Sun), I will give you my pitch on a new reality show idea I think you'll love.  I call it "Crow On The Crapper", featuring none other than you.

Here is the premise.  You will have a female bathroom attendant follow you everywhere you go.  Before being able to enter any restroom, the attendant will go inside and remove all rolls of toilet paper, or other paper goods which may be used for wiping.  She will then hand you exactly one square which you will be allowed to take inside with you.  Once per day, you will be allowed to ask for 3 (in case of #2).  However, if you don't use all squares when you ask for them, you won't be allowed to save them for later.  All unused squares will have to be returned to the attendant.

If you are able to continue like this for one month, you will be allowed to keep your recording contract.  If not, then you will have to use your recording contract as toilet paper as you flush it down the toilet and go away forever.  I think Fox would pick up on this without a doubt.

This is one of those "shut up and sing" moments, isn't it.
