[matcom]

i'm just askin' :shrug:

1. Actually, we in the West are pretty much the only ones..most humans don't.

[rucky]

2. I always thought it was optional

hey ladies, I'm single!

[DoverFrank]

5. :) first laugh i had all day

Thank you. My sister is single but probably not interested.

3. You see how animals clean their area.

Let's be glad for the paper and not question it.

4. Why? Because We've Lost the Flexibility to

reach around with our tongues. :evilgrin:

6. true . . . although I know of some people who can not only reach . . .

around with their tongues, they can actually imsert their entire head into their own rectum and walk around like that for days, weeks, months, even years at a time . . . George W. Bush, for instance . . . and John Ashcroft . . . and Rush Limbaugh . . . and Ann Coulter . . .

better stop now . . . if I took the time to list them all, I'd miss not only the Yankee/Red Sox game, but likely the entire season . . .

8. So, in addition to their crimes, they

don't wipe????

7. Have you ever seen the back-end of a Yak?

Apologies to Zomby, but they are the animal Kings of dingleberries.

What was my point? Oh yeah! Everyone needs to wipe.

9. My guess

Since we're the only species that walks fully upright, we have bigger butt muscles and since we sit on our asses most of the day there's usually lots of extra fat there as well. Our assholes are receding as our butts get larger. :) I would guess that all bipedal life in the universe wipes (or takes a bidet).

10. I don't like paper

I'd rather use a bidet.

[LynneSin]

11. Because we don't have the ability to lick our asses

like my cats do

:eyes:

[matcom]

12. SPEAK FOR YOURSELF DAMMIT!!

:D

[BlueJazz]

13. Well, I use toilet paper at home but when at a friends....

....house, I use their bath towels.
I suppose I should say, I used to...for some strange reason I don't
get invited to most parties any more...go figure?

[Gothic Sponge]

14. Make note:

Never have Radicalliberal over for tea. ;)

[TankLV]

16. Because we don't relish the concept of licking our asses clean?!

Just a thought.

Besides, at least I don't know of many humans who are limber enough to even consider it!

FYI - until roman times, and even in some recent times, many societies have used the left hand to wipe, and the right to eat.

That's why we've developed the right-handedness over left-handedness phobias as well as the handshake rituals.

Then there are always those who are mentally challenged and never wipe even in our society - they are generally considered outcasts for other reasons - yucko big time!

17. Not all of us do

Don't bother to ask how I know that. Can you say "prostate exam"?
