Why the one ply wipe?

I have a bit of a rant today but it will be short and sweet.

Could someone please inform me as to WHY there is one ply toilet paper even MADE. I can't believe that it is stocked on the shelves in every type store AND that people actually by it. It's bad enough that it can be found in every public restroom nationwide. If I wanted to dry the jewel or wipe my coolie with something that felt like a dried leaf, or worse yet, my bare hand (because it's ridiculously thin) I would have taken care of business OUTSIDE.

For the tree huggers. I'm aware of the recycling situation and am all for saving the trees. However, not a that expense of some very special body parts.

So. If you plan to have me over for any length of time and think I may need to visit your powder room, I beg you please, have something in there with a little cush.

Thank you in advance for you understanding.
