    Hello again, JasonX! I am so enjoying the questions and answers of a Mensa member who is teaching his parrot sentence structure! (It's interesting to read the profiles, questions, and answers of people on Yahoo Answers, isn't it?")

    So please share with us - what is your country of origin? I will be the first to say that (unlike you, I am sure) I speak only 2 languages, and French is not one of them. So I will freely admit that, although "toilette" would appear to be a French word, I could be wrong about that. But as you know, I am curious about how you can be so fluent in idiomatic American English speech and yet so (dare I say it!) retarded (using the literal meaning of slowed or delayed development) in the use of simple single words. (For any other answerers who are wondering about my references, please check out the exalted JasonX's profile and questions.)

    And by the way, little man, there is really not a "nationally approved standard" for putting on toilet paper in the United States, and I doubt that there is in any other country. Do you have toilet paper police on your home planet to enforce the correct direction of the roll of "toilette paper"?

    No... just cos your water in the bath spirals down the hole in the opposite direction, doesn't mean we open our toilet paper under...

    That is the most stupid thing i've read today! I highly doubt I will read anything more stupid today.
