Fans of Everybody Loves Raymond may recall the episode in which Ray Barone, alter ego of comedian Ray Romano, once again futilely attempts to assert himself in his household. His act of rebellion? He goes to the grocery store by himself and, without consulting his wife, buys 10 boxes of bathroom tissue.

But poor Ray, a sportswriter who never seems to watch any sports, can’t even do that right. He is ridiculed by his entire family for buying the wrong kind of tissue, and then sets the kitchen on fire with the stuff.
