Larry NO   NO   NO. Remember in the movie "Smokey and the Bandit" 
Sherrif Buford T. Pusser, Texas Ranger, left the bathroom and was
dragging a long roll behind him. Of course it got caught in his
aaaaaaa belt, shall we say. If the loose end was in to the wall he  
wouldn't gotten caught and looked stupid. I stand by my earlier
judgement.

Don't you know that your not supposed to put a new roll on the dispenser?
 
No!  Your supposed to keep the empty roll on, and put the new roll on the
counter next to the sink, or on the side of the tub.
