Give me OVER or GIVE ME DEATH!
A cynical habit of thought and speech, a readiness to criticise work which the critic himself never tries to perform, an intellectual aloofness which will not accept contact with life’s realities â€" all these are marks, not as the possessor would fain to think, of superiority but of weakness. -TR

Always---ALWAYS--Over.  And the egg is always opened from the big end!
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?<br />Then he is not omnipotent,<br />Is he able but not willing?<br />Then whence cometh evil?<br />Is he neither able or willing?<br />Then why call him god?

I always suspected you were a Lilliputian.  On the Internet, nobody can see that you are only one inch tall.

What are you doing?
Are you taking any medications?
Don't do that.

It's good to know that other people have some moral fortitude.

This is the problem with american politics.

There isn't usually just two answers to a problem.  But americans are usually only restricted to two options.

Let me put in one word for under: if you're a cat owner, 'under' is usually less tempting and/or less easy to get at for the Feline Overlord(s).

That said, I do neither since the roll holder in my bathroom is awkwardly placed, so I stand the roll on the shelf near the toilet (and completely out of the Feline Overlady's range).  No, I can't move it, I rent.

Under if the cats decide to unroll it for fun.  But mine don't.  Therefore an OVER FOREVER!

Your argument is an interesting one.

I am an over because you are not required to touch the wall to tear off your allotment of sheets. Over time, the wall behind the roll will get dirty. And also, it's unnatural to reach all the way past the roll to get to the back of it. If you need to find the edge, you can roll it over and over and the free end will not become obvious as easily as it would if the roll were placed in the over orientation. Therefore, I find the under orientation to be immoral and a sin against God.
