I will definitely be voting against sending Izal into Rm 101, as it has saved me money over the years, but perhaps an explanation is due....

 

Occasionally my teenage girls used to use ridiculous amounts of the normal bog paper, and this was the time to replace it with Evil Izal, and explain about household finances not being unlimited - problem solved (for a while at least)

 

Bwahahaha
