        That’s exactly the comparison that the comic strip is making. People are okay with just using tissue in one situation but not in others.

          I think the other comparison we’re overlooking is how many people would be ok with “just a quick rinse” if they were washing shit off their hands.

            Well it’s a quick rinse with or without some TP to dry versus just smearing it around your butt with dry paper.

        … you don’t wash your butt?

        Your point is also the point of the comic: saying that you’ve rubbed dry paper on your butthole and that makes it “clean” is analagous to getting poop on your hands and doing the same.

        You wash your hands; you should also wash your butt: so get a bidet.

          I don’t grab everything I touch with my ass crack either.

          Except that I don’t touch literally everything else including my food with my butthole, though. And it’s not as if I never wash my butthole. So if I happen to be in a public shitter and I drop a deuce, I will simply apply shit tickets and not freak out about it.
