Is this a great country or what?

ROSWELL, Ga. — Richard Thorne grins as he waves his hand under a toilet paper dispenser in a women's restroom. The machine spits five sheets of tissue into his grasp.
Richard Thorne can use the women's restroom.

Also, he can just wave his hand and some machine spits toilet paper. I mean, how freakin' awesome is that?

And best, oh best, of all:

Americans typically use twice as much toilet paper as Europeans — as much as an arm's length each pull, Thorne says. The company [Kimberly-Clark] decided the best length is about 20 inches — or precisely five standard toilet paper squares, though the machine can also be adjusted to churn out 16 inches or 24 inches, depending on the demand.
Five squares! I mean, you can't beat that.
