Mr. Mercat and I have a stock of toothbrushes and Advil. Note to self, add toilet paper.

Obama is trying to see if we can duplicate Venezuela’s success with his Marxist policies!

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money, and toilet paper!

[null and void]

Somebody had to say it...

[MrB]

Yeah, I’d say that’s the final hallmark of socialism -

standing in line for a roll of toilet paper.

Thanks liberals.
No, you’re not “good people”.
No, you really DON’T care about anyone but yourself.
And yes, you ARE thieves, even if you do it “by consensus”.

Or they can shave their butts (I read that some do).

Lighting the occasional fart will effectively deforest the area, or so I'm told...

(With a waring that the fire could spread to adjacent recreational areas!)

So is my story about Communism and toilet paper. For all you younger people, I lived this.

They must have exported that stuff to West Germany at the time. In 1986, I visited West Germany for about six weeks. The train system there had TP on the trains that was grey and had bits of actual wood embedded in the paper. I guess the great difference was that I could use as much as needed, rather than use the amount given to me by the staff.

On a lark, I tore off a single piece and brought it home as proof to my story of wood-shaving laced TP.

LOL

But it’s true isn’t it.

“Venezuela’s product shortages have become so severe that some hotels in that country are asking guests to bring their own toilet paper and soap, a local tourism industry spokesman said on Wednesday….”

Umm, as a “tourism industry spokesman,” you should come up with another way of saying this....

FOR SALE: Used toilet paper. Local pickup only, the Post Office won’t handle hazardous substances.

Look at how ;long they had to change over. I bet it cost them a bundle.
