This is a puzzler, especially with strangers.  You have to find out
whether the majority of your guests are bunchers or folders.  As you
already know, the civilized world is divided this way -- many famous
men and women have been bunchers, although Einstein Himself was a
folder -- anyway, if most are bunchers (the most likely distribution)
then mount the rolls so the loose end comes off the bottom, nearest
the wall.  If the majority are folders (less likely, but possible)
then the papers should roll off the top, with the loose end farthest
from the wall.  If the guests are evenly divided ... aw, hell, just ask
an odd number of people and don't worry about it.
