I will tell you what. Talked to my friends still in the timber business up in the UP of MI.

They said they cant get the wood to the pulp mills fast enough.

Business is GOOOOOOOD!

The government will have to start rationing it like they did sugar, gasoline, etc. in WWII.

Of course people would be trading their TP ration books on the street.

I had a relative who was a teenager during the Depression, and there was definitely deprivation in the house. One thing she did for the rest of her life - it was a long one - was keep an astounding supply of toilet paper on hand in one closet. As a little kid, I found it funny... but come what may, she was NOT going to run out of TP.

It’s funny. We buy those big packs of toilet paper at Costco, lasts a long time.

And, I was at Costco more than a year ago so I called my wife and said anything we need at Costco? She thinks and says toilet paper, among other things.

So I get one. Turns out we didn’t need more, we had two in the garage already. It’s easy to forget what you’ve bought off the top of your head.

So I’ve still got two of those big packs in the garage.

I wonder how much I can sell some for?

People don’t know how much toilet paper they go through in a month. It’s less than they’d estimate.

People are acting like morons.

So at least their behavior hasn't changed at all. That's one good thing I guess.

Rejoinder to insults soon coming to me about that :

American people thought it was bad to have one party (GOP) hold Prez,House & Senate. "It will be good to have the variety of a Dem House to balance things out." Result: Pelosi,AOC & Tlaib and an innocent men impeached and slandered by the empowered Schiff and Nadler.

Smart----real smart./s

LOL!

The man who invented single-ply toilet paper

made a serious breakthrough.

....................................

I was so poor growing up, we only had a calendar to use as toilet paper…

Now those days are behind me…

.............................................

Why did the toilet paper roll down the hill?

A. To get to the bottom.

Ever since my dad heard this he cant. Stop. Telling. It. To EVERYONE.

When I was a kid there was a show starring Chuck Connors called “Branded” we used to sing these lyrics to the music:

Stranded, stranded on the toilet bowl
What can you do when your stranded,
And you need another roll?

But wherever you go for the rest of your life...
You must prove, you’re a man use your hand

Given the partial knowledge of the WuHuFlu [WooHooFlew here at FR?] to date, it might be best to just partition off the over 65 crowd from the rest of society until the young’ins develop herd immunity.

And then let oldsters rejoin general society [which can soldier on in the interim].

Hard to believe that FR has two threads on Toilet paper!!!!!!

One has the paper rolling on the outside, and the other has the paper rolling on the inside.

Do you need it? How much do you need to survive 21 days? 20 rolls? 10 rolls?

Most people have no idea.

Makes you wonder why people are so desperate to get so much since it’s made from American trees.

Or, we will break down the door...go in and be thankful for the two cans of beans and the 400 rolls of TP.
