Uhhh... sorry about the paper mate...

I nearly got stuck in a McDonald's bathroom the other day. The only thing that saved me was that the paper towels ran out... Weird huh?

Seriously... the McDonald's had a new automatic paper towel dispenser in the bathroom. It was pretty awesome.

I washed my hands (which is of course shocking for a lot of woman folk out there who believe that guys never do that) and reached over to yank out some paper towels. Low and behold... the magic machine on the wall spit out a small portion of dead tree for me... Amazing! I reached up again... same thing. This is incredible. There aren't even any buttons.

But what am I going to do with the tiny strip of towel it gives me?

It was bit like getting one square of toilet paper. But let's be honest... this is a bit less critical than the t.p. situation... In this case, I could just wipe my hands on my pants... not so much the case in the stall if you know what I mean.

It occurred to me that this was supposed to be a way to cut back on paper towel usage. Come on though... You have a dispenser that automatically spits out the paper and you think someone like me isn't going to just sit there and keep on dispensing?

Are you kidding me... I even had to show my brother. After about six feet of paper towels, even he was impressed with this new wonder...

I'm not afraid to say that I was truly amazed by this machine...

I just stood there repeatedly dispensing paper towel and thinking, "Why? Why, for the love of Christ, did someone make this?"
