Hotel toilet rolls

Why do hotels always insist on folding the ends of all their toilet rolls into that nice little pointy thing?

After a great deal of contemplation I have managed to compile a shortlist of the most viable reasons for carrying out this act of origami.

1. To ensure that visitors unfamiliar with the concept of bog rolls know to pull the paper downwards, as indicated by the handy arrow.
   


2. To assist in the cleaning of the butt crack, the pointy shape allowing deeper cleaning of those hard-to-get-at crevices.



3. For the maids to have fun to see what guests are sad enough to put the fold back in after undertaking the act of removing any dangleberries.

p-mail

A recent article describing how "today's e-mail glut is a constant worry for many office workers" has moved me to develop a fantastic new communications tool to end e-mail stress once and for all.

I have developed a system that allows the user to compose and send messages by interacting directly with an information portal using a specially developed interface removing the need for the traditional and clumsy keyboard

The interface itself takes up a fraction of the room that a normal input device would utilise and would be welcomed by premises managers wishing to maximise available office space.

The process completely bypasses expensive and often unreliable email servers and clients whilst at the same time providing both the author and recipient full control over their workflow process.

Although only at the prototype stage early indications are positive with a market research sample of office workers reporting that my new system provides not only greater control over their day to day tasks but allows them the time to fully digest all the information and provide constructive solutions that, due to the pressure of e-mail, they would not normally be allowed to do.

The model shown below is an early working prototype..........
