Rorschach Toilet Paper

You produce the "inkblot", the paper provides a potted analysis.

Simple really. The paper is printed with a thermochromic message, much like the cryptic remarks in fortune cookies.
Using the paper warms it sufficiently for the text to appear magically on the paper. The user then learns the "significance" of the mark they've just made, if they care to read it.
Doing it this way is a bit of a cheat, but it could feature messages such as:
All your base... (sinister to older non-denizens of the 'net)
You are obsessed with the girl next door, be careful of your actions
You have a mole shaped like a dog on your left buttock.

etc. There are people here better than me at this sort of thing.

       so it's like, 'your crap speaks volumes about you', or perhaps 'you speak volumes of crap'? I only ask...

       I don't know that I'd go to the trouble of binding the messages into volumes.

       My poo tends to be rather opaque. Would I have to wipe it clear to see the message? With what, another piece of toilet paper? But then I'd have to wipe that one off...Argh.

       Just lick it off. The world loves a conscientious recycler.

       Take the world off my mind for a moment please.

       With all those books in your house UB, I would have thought that you've got better things to read.

       Probably DrBob, but toilet humour has its place.
