1 Not a joke-- someone (probably at BBDO) thought this was profound. "Like WOW, man!" How could it be a joke when Conservation International is really looking to assimilate some of your hard earned money? Sheryl Crow never specified No. 1 or No. 2. Examine her original comments to The London Times/BBC -- “I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting. Now, I don’t want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required.” Do you have pesky occasions with No. 1? She made the remarks after confronting Karl Rove, "Her demand for a ban on excessive paper use came after a heated exchange with Karl Rove, President Bush’s chief political adviser, at a dinner in Washington on Saturday. When Crow approached him to demand that he take global warming more seriously, she placed her hand on his arm. According to Crow, Mr Rove immediately spat: “Don’t touch me!” Maybe she told her one-square story first? She was with Laurie David at the time. After she was mocked by Letterman and Leno and everyone else, she tried the "joke" gambit. It didn't fly because she tried to defend it first. Laurie David said at least she's trying to do something to save the planet. She later tried the old "They took my words out of context" gambit, after her bookings (as a speaker) took a nosedive. They? The BBC and The Times of London? A VLWC? Same team, Sugar. You are all peddling the same Kool Aid. These things happen when you spend your days with hangers-on, toadies, and brown nosers. My bet is that Sheryl had been saying it for quite a while. And always getting a "What a wonderful idea!" from her fools chorus. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article1695705.ece
