I don't normally make a habit of reading what's printed on the plastic wrapped around my toilet tissue or paper towels when I bring them home from the grocery store - but something caught my eye as I was unwrapping my 12-pack of paper towels yesterday to put them away.
In an attempt to be hip or funny or maybe just to give women a humorous break in their day, Brawny Paper Towels has a whole new series of "how-to's" for men printed on their wrappers - basically explaining to men how to use a paper towel. The one on the package I had was how to use a paper towel to clean up a red wine stain off the couch. It instructed the man to use a paper towel to clean it up as opposed to say...covering the stain with a decorative pillow only to be found later by his wife and then be relegated to sleeping on said couch. It even included diagrams.
As if this wasn't enough, it seems that Brawny has started a little web site for men to learn more about using paper towels - called www.BrawnyAcademy.com.
I'm not sure what all of this accomplishes - perhaps it makes women talk to their husbands about paper towels....maybe it makes women lust after the Brawny Man (who already KNOWS how to use a paper towel)...although I could never quite understand what a lumberjack in a red and black flannel shirt had to do with paper towels.
In any event, I would like to state for the record that my husband has and does use paper towels and is quite nimble with them. Perhaps that's it - to make those of us whose husbands can utilize a paper towel feel special.

There is a funny Simpson's Episode where Marge fantasizies about Chad Sexington - the model for "Burly" paper towels.
For the record, it's not always a Man's fault when he doesn't know how to use a paper towel. Some people's mothers don't believe in them.
Great. Well I will just have to add that to the list of things that Charlie will need to know how to do before he leaves the house. :-)
It would be better if he had a strong appreciation and comprehensive knowledge of Simpsons episodes.
Glad to see Rob has his priorities straight.
I have to fight back the tears every night when my daughter asks if we can watch the simpsons tonight. how about two! she will always immediately exclaim when I answer yes. And when she wants to rewind to watch the couch gag again, oh man, water works I tell yuh.
