Life of a skeptic

Do you believe what it says on the toilet paper package? Are there really 200 sheets, or 150 sheets -- whatever the package says? Leo Hill doesn't, and he has facts to back this up. According to the Denver Post:

"Acting on an idea from his wife, Doris, the 81-year-old former maintenance worker set out to settle a problem.

"She complained that a roll in the 12-pack would last just three days and the same size in the four-roll pack lasted four," Hill explained. "I wanted to find out."

Hill figured he had the time, since there wasn't much else to do but read or stare at the shower curtain. So he counted every sheet of toilet paper as he used it."

And what did Hill find out?

"At the end of the month, Hill said his nine-roll average was 156.75 sheets for the rolls of Angel Soft that promised 198 on the package."

Hill took his information to the Better Business Bureau. The maker of Angel Soft, Georgia-Pacific, was notified. So far, Georgia-Pacific has not responded.
