That could be me. First time I rode a motorcycle I was about 4 1/2 years old. Remember when you so young halves mattered?

Anyway, my Dad had a Harley Davidson Fire Chief's special with the suicide shifter beside the tank. I'd just had a bath and my pajamas on. He road up to park beside our front porch, and I ran out the screen door begging for a ride. He put me on the tank and rode me around the neighborhood after dark. Oh, and yes, Mom was standing on the porch when we got back, and we were both in trouble.

Cover the roll with a piece of plastic to keep it dry, then lay on a rag sprayed with ammonia. Jim

Put a bittering agent on a roll or two and see what happens.

So... I mean... thanks for the suggestions... but it was an internet joke.
My son sent it to me (perhaps because it's a grey cat -- I am quite enamored of grey cats, even though I/we have never had one).
I don't know the person, the cat, or the roll of toilet paper.

Strings sound very different depending on the position where you pick, plug or bow them. Right in the middle you create 'only' the fundamental tone, the more you go away from the center position the more higher harmonics are created.

I think you're talking about the plucking position of the player's right hand (for a right-handed player), and this is certainly true. But I think it's also possible the musician was talking about position as it relates to the left hand, which is the fretting hand. For instance, on a guitar, you can play an A note by plucking the open fifth string. But you can also play the same A note by fretting the third string at the second fret. The fretting position of accompanying notes would similarly be changed, thus changing the "position" of the left hand. Of course, he could also mean that he transposed the music to a different octave or even a different key (tonality). But back to the humor...

Before I retired, that was the preferred method for Senior Management. I learned to keep my head and arms tucked in at all times!

So those 'black box' flight recorders always seem to survive crashes, so why don't they make the rest of the aeroplane from the same stuff?

Actually if the expense and weight weren't prohibitive, the plane could be made to survive most anything, but the passengers would likely be mush from the g forces.

Light aircraft have, in fairly recent times, gone the big ol' parachute route.

EDIT: good ol' google...

Couldn't think of another place to put this but wanted to share
