"... That is of course socially useful, but the Charmin people are
primarily interested in their product as used for wiping behinds. I don’t
know if talking a lot about the pleasure of urination would have
disqualified candidates from the competition, or if failure to emphasize
the pleasure of cleaning up after defecation would have."

Just to note, I believe women use tp after urination so, I guess, they're
twice the market for Charmin that men are.
