each paper has 4 layers (the one i buy) if i fold 3 pieces to one i have 12 layers protecting my finger from *shoop da whoop* so i guess im safe (if i fold 6 to 2 its 12 layers, folding again 24!)

Alas Alas Alas Alas.
The lesson was not the count-of-layers but the phase of perforations. Unless your paper has no perforations to aid in dispensing you will still fall into the same danger.
Actually, more easily, as since you need fewer folds it's less likely that a sheet-middle will protect you from a tear-point.

Well but i guess the one who fails to fold according to perforations deserves to get his hand dirty

Fold it into a Mobius strip

Indeed, I appreciate your contribution to this thread.
It helps with an environmental project of mine which I will doubtless shortly patent.
Instead of paper wipes, which consume trees and then end up as murky waste requiring various treatment methodologies, I had the following preposition:
We replace the paper with gently textured thin plastic sheeting. Following utilization, the sheet is hung on the wall. It is then squeegeed clean (clips and squeegee are supplied) and is ready for reuse.
A Mobius strip is an excellent enhancement to this design!

Agreed, although the result is too wide. The obvious solution is to cut or tear it down the middle, giving two mobius strips that are about the right size.

Is this a problem that occurs often in your house?
In almost 50 years, I cannot recall one time that this has happened to me. I would say that this is a non-problem.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

'Tis not a problem the occurs often. It was an observational warning based upon conjecture and copious anecdotal evidence.
This leads to the question, of course, in that you cannot recall this happening to you during the last fifty years. The explanation, of course, is obvious. You've simply gone into shock at time and mercifully your mind has blocked your memories.
Either that, or 50 years of constipation?

 That, fortunately, is one problem I do not suffer from.
As for memory problems, never! I have a memory like a whatchamacallem - one of those big grey things with trunks?

Alas, Laddie, I'm not of a sea-faring peoples.
We'd spend our time mulling over and ruing the consequences of have an shell slam closed most stubbornly on a sensitive area.

Stop killing trees, Use a bidet !!!
I'd rather be phishing!

Aside from the additional water consumption, you have to consider the consequences of a shot of ice-cold water on a winter's day.
A week-long sphincter lock does not sound appealing.

Apparently, manufacturing a single roll of TP takes 1.5lb of wood, and 37 gallons of water...just how big a bidet were you planning on using?

The water consumption content was just a polite lead-in to the real problem of an icy "finger of water" probing where it's most unwelcome.
In addition to the extended consequences of the event, it could cause a muscle-memory reflex that seals the orifice at the very approach to such a device.

Apparently, you can get warm water devices, even with integral hot air driers.
Fortunately, our bathroom does not have sufficient space to accommodate such!

I remember reading a scifi story about a guy who realized that the more perforations you put in a piece of paper, the stronger it got, based on the likelihood that it would tear on the perforations - ie: more perfs = stronger, until, by perforating until there was nothing left, he had something that would withstand an atomic bomb.

I actually have a supply of material in the above-mentioned state and would be willing to part with some of it for a nominal (cash!) fee.

Ahh, but can you prove it is impervious to atomic bombs?

So, you got sh*t on you hand while wiping. Big deal. Move along.

Outstanding article, excellent description of workflow, great unit test documentation, but the source seems to be missing.
