      He needed to blow his nose. He pulled 1 four sheets 2 off 3 the roll 4 of toilet paper. What's this, he wondered 5. The first two sheets were 2-ply. The next two sheets were mostly 6 1-ply. He pulled six more sheets off the roll. The first four sheets were mostly 1-ply. The last two sheets were 2-ply. How do they make toilet paper wrong, he wondered. Maybe the whole 7 roll was 8 no good. Maybe all the rolls 9 were no good. He blew his nose. His wife 10 came 11 home. She went into the bathroom. She came out of the bathroom. She was holding about ten sheets. Some were 2-ply. Some were mostly 1-ply. "What's this?" she said 12. "I don't know," he said. "Sometimes they make mistakes 13." "I've used 14 toilet paper my whole life," she said. "I've never seen 15 this problem 16 before. Was this on sale 17? Did 18 you get a good deal 19 on it?"
