I don't get the point..

I guess I don't get out much. I went to the Resnet Conference and I stayed at the Nassau Inn.

ASIDE The Nassau Inn is home to the Yankee Doodle Tap Room. It is so named because this Norman Rockwell mural is painted on one of its walls.



Don't bother to go there unless you are interested in a surly, malevolent bar service person. Seriously, NJ is a very humorless place to begin with and most of the servers in the Yankee Doodle Tap Room help cement that reputation. Anyway being at the Nassau Inn is one of the reasons I haven't posted in a week or more. The other reason is right after the conference I went to Creation Festival in Pennsylvania.

As I was saying I don't get out much. I wandered in to the bath at the Nassau Inn and whilst in there I noticed this.



I thought that since it wasn't a full roll maybe some little girl (or maybe an effeminate little boy wait I mean creative) who had stayed in the room just before me had folded the bathroom tissue to a point. A few days later I was in the bath again and noticed the paper once again folded in to a point. Could the aforementioned child have kept their key and waited for an opportune moment to sneak back in the room and refold ? I upon returning home I have jokingly mentioned the incident to a few friends and have been met with everyone telling me that "the maids always do that, it's part of their job".

In conclusion...
I'd like to thank the hotel industry for providing a safe and effect alternative to the spin the roll as fast as you can and hope the end shows up method for obtaining the end of the roll and point out again that I don't get out much.
