The idiom “Put the Cat Among the Pigeons” means to create a disturbance or cause trouble, making others angry or worried. Thought to originate in Iran and India where Caracal cats were tamed and trained for bird hunting and put into arenas with a flock of pigeons where wagers were made on how many birds the cat could bring down.
Sheryl Crow has been on a “Stop Global Warming” College Tour in the US recently and has been quoted on BBC News as saying:
“I have spent the better part of this tour trying to come up with easy ways for us all to become a part of the solution to global warming” and her suggestions?
“I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting” Good luck with enforcing that one then. Anyone for toilet duty?
So just how many squares are deemed sufficient?
“…only one square per restroom visit…” What? I know everything is supposed to be bigger and better in America, but just how big are the squares of her toilet paper?
“…except, of course, on those pesky occasions where two to three could be required”
Yeah, yards not squares.
Obviously not an IBS sufferer.

I had exactly the same thought. One square of toilet paper, my arse! (if you'll excuse the pun) Give me a bad episode of IBS and I can probably go through her entire month's ration in one evening!
I'm all for pop stars (or should that be poop stars - sorry, I've had a glass of wine this evening!) raising awareness about global issues but toilet paper rationing is a little too surreal.
I agree. Celebrities can do a lot of good in raising awareness when they get involved with important issues, but a suggestion such as that will give people the impression that she's not really serious, and that could be damaging to the cause.
Well, either that, or she has some personal hygiene issues... xxx
Lol, yeah, that's another explanation! Thank's for that Anonymous :)
