The Mrs went to Costco the other day to pick up a few things. She reported back that all the toilet paper was gone.
All. Of. It. That aisle looked like a supermarket in Venezuela. The bottled water was hit hard too. Bottled water! Folks, the water coming out of your tap is CHLORINATED, it'll kill any virus that might somehow make it in there! We have to have a reverse osmosis filter to REMOVE all that chlorine. Ain't nothing coming through those pipes alive.
We have a month's worth of poop tickets here at Casa de Rage, and now I'm wondering if that'll be enough because if people are freaking out and buying every single roll of TP within a hundred-mile radius right now, will they keep doing that as the news pushes more panic every single day in an attempt to bring down Trump? Are there going to be houses with rooms full of toilet paper as the occupants run around in a panic because they refuse to turn off the TV?
Hell with it, we have a bidet. I'll wash my ass clean every morning if need be. The poor folks at Costco couldn't even begin to guess when they would have more TP in stock. It's a freak-out like Y2K all over again. I think some people aren't happy until they have something to panic about.
We always have enough food in the house for several weeks, just because you never know what Mother Nature is going to throw at you. But I'm now looking around and wondering if I need to prep for more, because if people freak out like this over a virus that's the equivalent of a mild flu, then what the hell will they do if anything serious happens?
I heard about the run on TP on the radio this morning. WTF? If....and I do mean IF you contracted COVID-19, it is a respiratory condition with a higher than normal fever. What is a stockpile of TP gonna do for anyone?
ReplyDeleteUnless....people think Bernie is going to take the White House, impose Communism, and that way will have enough TP for themselves and to sell on the black market. That at least makes some sense.
That would show foresight and planning. Something the general populace is seriously lacking; as evidenced by their inability to get into the correct lane more than 50 feet ahead of their exit. This is just people panicking because of media hype. It is fun to watch though.
ReplyDeleteIt's all fun and games until you're wiping your ass with your hands like an arab.
ReplyDeleteOr in this house, accidentally turning the bidet setting to "Neptune's Raging Enema" and doing an inadvertent colon cleanse.
(It ain't my bidet, it's the Mrs. I don't know how the damn thing works.)
