Just came back fromDollar General. The shelves are plumb full of all brands they carry. Asked the manager if he has been alerted from corporate of a supply problem with it. He laughed and said he could stock his shelves FOREVER from the distribution center with TP.

Told me that TP has become a nice boon created by the panic crowd.

Congrats to all the stupid panic city slickers who fall for this type of stuff.

We could never afford to ‘prep’ a 6w supply of necessities all at once. I feel for them.

Sheep
Pink Floyd

Roger Waters

Hopelessly passing your time in the grassland away
Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air
You better watch out
There may be dogs about
I’ve looked over Jordan, and I have seen
Things are not what they seem

What do you get for pretending the danger’s not real
Meek and obedient you follow the leader
Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel
What a surprise

The look of terminal shock in your eyes
Now things are really what they seem
No, this is no bad dream

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me down to lie
Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by
With bright knives he releaseth my soul

He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places
He converteth me to lamb cutlets
For lo, He hath great power, and great hunger
When cometh the day we lowly ones

Through quiet reflection, and great dedication
Master the art of karate
Lo, we shall rise up
And then we’ll make the bugger’s eyes water

Bleating and babbling we fell on his neck with a scream
Wave upon wave of demented avengers
March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream

Have you heard the news?
The dogs are dead
You better stay home
And do as you’re told
Get out of the road if you want to grow old

Like you I went to Dollar General. Although they had been heavily shopped, like you I could find what I came in for.

I blame public schools. People were not taught the difference between washing your hands and wiping your ass. Experts say “Wash Your Hands” and the masses hear “Wipe Your Ass”

The real answer: If we get to a point where “non-essential” companies close down for a specified period, people don’t want to be caught without certain necessaries like buttwipe. You can’t go to the store for more if the stores are all closed.

In India and other parts of the world TP is not normally used. It is considered a cultural commodity, and an unnecessary luxury!

People also don’t realize they’re passing the virus around as they’re crammed into hours-long lines at Costco waiting to buy the toilet paper.

Stupid.

Me too. I just listened to it this past weekend.

I am always reminded of a scene on WKRP in Cincinnati.
Dj Johnny Fever is in the booth. The “Big Guy” walks in and Dogs from Pink Floyd is playing. The Big Guy looks at him and asks “are those dogs barking?”
