SMART PHONES AND TOILET PAPER--RUNNING IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS

Was inspecting a roll of bathroom tissue (not during use, in case you're eating), and noticed a perceptible shrinkage. It's definitely narrower, reminding me of a thong strap

So, I tore off one of the perforated sheets and measured.

Surely enough, the sheet size that used to be a 4.5" square back in the days (I used to sell the stuff, no need to provide fact-checking link here) is now...

4.1" x 3.7"

Which leads to the question:

Has the human anatomy changed? From my personal observation, yes, but not for the lesser.  I mean, why are there now terms like, "getto-booty", "ba-DOONK-a-DOONK", and, of course "phatty-banger".

Now, on the other hand, I've noticed that the size of the screen on the latest cell phones has increased. From less than 2", to now either 3.7" or 4.3".  And that doesn't take into account these new tablets (oops--calls can't be made on tablets, can they?)

Hence, the cell phone screen has out-sourced  out-sized a sheet of toilet paper.  Paper-makers, you're getting wiped out.
