That's a lot of toilet paper.
OK, time for some number crunching.
In rough (no pun intended) numbers, I recently bought a 10-pack of 3-ply, 200 sheets x 130mm length/sheet per roll @ $2.50.
That puts us at 260 m of soft posterior comfort for $2.50.
$ 3.7 bn / $2.5 = 1.48 bn. Multiply by 260 m... appr. 385 bn meters which is 385 mn kilometers or appr. 240 million miles.
Earth's equator circumference is roughly 25k miles. 240 mn / 25 k = 9600.
So Venezuela owes the airlines 9600 equator lengths in toilet paper. That's a lot of sh!t.
I see what you did there. Well done.
Yeah it's tough to do business when you can't even do your business.
Probably afraid they can’t refuel and get out.
