It has come to my attention that there's been some kind of virus pandemic and panic afoot, and we're apparently all gonna die. (I haven't heard much from the MSM or anywhere else about it. Has it been some kind of secret? What have I missed??)
Anyway....
My recent observation:
There they were -- the fat & stupid; old & parsnippity; skinny & spastic; basically, anyone with a pulse had been milling around a supermarket and drug store like chickens without heads, pilling carts to the rafters, cleaning the shelves of items from toilet paper-to-Clorox-to-food stuffs and produce.
In my email box are several new warnings, advice, and "the latest" from companies I've done business with -- insurance companies, banks, utilities, Mavis Tires -- SAY WHAT??!? They are ALL dispensing government updates on this virus thingy. It's a good thing too, or else I'd have been TOTALLY in the dark about it.
So...Nice knowing ya. Say yer prayers, varmint. So long Methuselah...

Anyway, so long, Screwy...See you in St. Louie.
In a scene that's up for interpretation, who can blame Charlton Heston for totally giving up? (No TP at Walgreens = Kissing Own Azz Goodbye)
Rest easy, Chuck.

Oh, wait....
Now it's not a matter of if, but just when. Your last Russian Roulette wipe might be your last.

I'm starting to think that my campaign to kiss every Chinese gal that I could get my lips on may have been a wee bit misguided.
Hell, I heard that they were "going out of style." Yum yum I wanted to get me some before it was too late. :(
I'm good on the TP, probably worth more than my friggin' gold right now.

Scott tissue used to be Made in America. Now it is Made in Mexico.
Not sure if they use it there since except for the larger cities, they only have pit privies. In that instance they put it in the trash and then take it out and burn it since the TP fills the privy faster. The Mexicans put it in the trash here too, even though it is not a pit privy. ;)

You know what the Mama-sans would say in Vietnam? "I love you long time, Joe." LOL

Wasn't it? One of the all-time best plot twists.

Like Hersheys :-/
Btw...
That "contaminated" TP news videocap was a goof. But it amplified our immediate instinct to believe everything seen as presented by official-looking "NEWS REPORTS."
If you haven't seen 'Wag The Dog' starring DiNiro and Hoffman, THAT is the general premise. (well worth seeing a first or second)

Haa!!
(It's like Monopoly...instead of red Hotels, white mini-TP rolls festoon St. James Place, Tennessee and New York ;-)
