A retired man in Denver, having nothing better to do with his time, decided to check out the veracity of the 'claims' by toilette paper companies (such as 1,000 sheets delicious). He meticulously counted each sheet of paper on the rolls of more than 60 different brands, logged his findings, and, at the end, found that most - on average - were 40 to 50 sheets short.

He reported his results to the Denver Post, who conducted their own fact-checking session. They too counted every sheet on rolls of the very same brands, and found the numbers stated on the packages to be dead accurate. They advised the man of his apparent mistake, but, obviously, found the story amusing enough to run - with their own research included - anyway.

And people say that old folks don't go looking for things to complain about. This guy had to try really hard to put all this together - just to nitpick about toilette paper! What a crappy attitude... Why??
