There have been times that I felt like I spent 2 years on the toilet.

Uh....did you notice the date on the story? March of this year. The guy has already been convicted of some offense (I forget what) in the matter, as I recall. Felony squeezing the Charmin, perhaps.

Sorry...old news.

Apology accepted!

Also re: #3 ... You came so close to revealing the true irony of the story. The investigating officer was named Whipple !!! (for years, the commercial campaign was Mr. Whipple, please don't squeeze the Charmin !!!)
