You’ve seen this visual joke many times I’m sure wherein a person exits a restroom with a long strand of toilet paper stuck to their shoe.
What am I missing here?
How is the toilet paper supposed to get on the person’s shoe and why is it supposed to be funny?
It’s just lying on the floor and the person steps on it. Presumably the floor or the person’s shoe is wet, so it sticks.
It’s funny because it’s toilet paper.
A possible way of toilet paper getting stuck to shoe:
If you have ever been in a public toilet (Which I am sure you have) you know that lots of times there are long strands of toilet paper on the floor. They stick to the shoe when they get wet. How they get wet is something I will leave to your fabulous imagination. If you step on one, it does stick to you shoe. Most peope would notice they had a long trail of toilet paper stuck to their shoes before they left the stall, but then it’s not funny.
How it’s funny:
Well, some people think toilet paper is funny, just by it’s very nature (you use it to wipe your dirty bum). The fact that someone must have it stuck to their shoe isn’t very dignified, and lets face, some people find the humilation of others funny. I don’t, but hey, whatever floats your boat, I guess.
I thought this thread was going to be about a quaint English village. 
Ah.
Excuse me while I catch up on the years of laughter I’ve been missing.
damnit this happened to me in a resturant years ago with my family +extended family , i went to the bathroom and had a whizz in the urinal , went up to the basin washed my hands , then walked out , what was really fucked up about this was i stepped on a piece of loo paper that had been wiped with shit , and the guy just threw it on the floor instead of the toilet bowl (my excuse was it was dark and the basins were very very close to the stalls) walking out to the reception (since the toilets were in the lobby) i pass the matre’d who informs me i have it on my shoe , i say can you get it off , and he does getting his hand covered in shit while i go off for a walk to clean the crap off the bottom of my shoe , good thing there was a right angle corridor before the main dining hall , else people would have been sick - its dumb toilet humour= stupidity
One night me, my wife, and another couple went out for dinner and drinks. We went to a nice place that offers good dinning and has a nice club as well. We had a few, before dinner, drinks, a great dinner, and then went into the club. The ladies were dressed up, wearing skirts and heels, and the place had a large crowd. My friend’s wife, who is very attractive, went to the toilet and somehow got the end of the roll of toilet paper caught in her pantyhose when she pulled them up. She came out with about a ten foot long streamer of TP trailing behind her. She didn’t know the TP was there, but did notice everyone looking at her. When she got to the table she asked why everyone was looking at her, and my friend calmly pointed to the TP and asked if she had brought the extra back in case of an emegency. Her, “OH MY GOD”, and the little dance she did to get it off, had everyone laughing. At least it was from the roll and clean.
Da Toad’s post perfectly illustrates why toilet paper on the shoe (or any variation of that) is funny! Tell me you read his post and did not laugh! It’s got the physical / sight gag “slipping on a banana peel” type humor mixed with good old toilet humor.
Sometime last year, I used the restroom at work before leaving to run some errands. I went to Best Buy to get some new headphones, wandered about the store looking at CDs and video games, talked to a clerk about the headphones I wanted, waited in line, purchased them, and then went out to my car. Once I was at my car, a woman in the parking lot informed me, in hushed tones, that I had toilet paper hanging out of the back of my pants. :eek:
It seems that when I had stood up and pulled up my pants, the paper I’d lined the seat with decided it couldn’t bear parting with my delightful bum.
At the time it was quite embarrassing, but my sister and I about died laughing over it when I called her that night. There’s something inherently funny about seeing someone unaware that anything is awry in their appearance.
