I don't remember the TP crisis. Was that because of his hemmorhoids or because TP was completely unnecessary since Carter would take any amount of $#!+ imaginable off of anybody, anywhere.
I just remember Carter in a small boat with the rabbit swimming towards him ready to attack him. That picture will never leave my mind.
BTW, have you had a little time to start reading the second book of Frankenstein? It's really good. That's where I got today's WFTD. I have another one from the book for tomorrow.
Detales on the details of de tails of this issue later, since I don't remember the details of de tale.
Essentially, Johnny Carson, in the midst of Jimmy Carter's gas crisis and the hundreds of "gas lines" stories being published, mentioned that there was a toilet paper crisis (falling supply and higher demand): Which, in at least one area of the country, was true.
But everybody in the country heard it, and rushed to get toilet paper before the crisis spread.
That rush, itself, CAUSED the crisis, which was then reported, and those reports made it worse. Several days of confusion and "waves" of secondary shortages continued.
(No internet to tell everybody the story was false in those days! ....
