Toilet paper - the next Bitcoin?

Go straight to Plan B!!!

 

Got them in our yard but they are a lot smaller than gum trees .

 

One of my girlfriends called me this morning and told me she ran out .. our local Wollies had run out too.

i offered her 10 of my precious toilet rolls...

This is her reply :

" I was very touched by your gesture when you offered your toilet rolls to me...thanks Friend"...

That msg really cracked me up )))) you know you have a good and loyal friend when she is willing to "roll" along with you hahaha!!!

best piece of laughter i have had amidst all these gloomy C. news

 

Only if they are Blackbutt trees

 

Ten! Wow your generous ... ... either that, or you've been hoarding

 

haha! didn't even know we had a local toilet run

i have exactly 37 rolls left....countdown begins...

(gotta start rationing among the family; eldest child is known to hog the toilet

Have a good friend living up in Newcastle way...may have to drive up

 

In a household full of women (wife and multiple daughters) 37 rolls will last exactly... 1 week...

 

Not if they all have small bums? '

(ok..okay ...have to stop my jokes now....back to the ASX

 

WOW.

In all seriousness, the people stocking up on food or whatever else. Do they believe that if a time came in which essentials ran out, there supply would be safe? Its not toilet paper you will need, but a shotgun.

Society will break down and unless you have a fortress to store your baked beans and toilet paper then what good is it all.

 

Riding the toilet paper boom on the way up, but looking for ways to hedge my position:

Bidets Japanese Toilet Seats @ Bidet Shop Australia

 

I just came back from the shops. No trolley, no toilet paper, no tissues. Apparently the centre with Woolworths and Aldi sold out at 9.00am. There was still a few rolls of super absorbent paper towels left but people were starting to stock up on them too. Both shops had restrictions so people were loading up their cars then returning. Also Panadol, hand sanatiser and water being snapped up. Aldi staff were happy they are getting commission on sales.No trolleys on Sunday also.

 

I don't understand why people are stocking up on water. This virus isn't going to affect our domestic water supplies. Your kitchen tap isn't about to become infected.

Whilst the infrastructure does require ongoing maintenance, I can't see that this virus would affect services so badly that basic maintenance becomes impossible.

As for toilet paper, I usually need it once a day. I also tend to shower once a day. If things get desperate, I'm sure I'll figure something out.

 

I went to the shops this morning. Some dude had something like 20 bottles of shampoo, Nivea for Men & Spray & Wipe. Heaps of other stuff as well, but I couldn't tell what it was. It was insane.

 

I don't get the toilet paper thing. 60% of the paper sold is made in Australia, on automated machines, so not like were going to run out

I did stock up on codral, panadol, Nurofen and b-b-berocca over the last few weeks, as that's all made overseas

 

For free probably as all the counter staff also ran for the exits.

 

...perhaps like the baby formula, some family members here in Oz buy it and send overseas?????

 

I was in a carpark earlier today, this big dude rolled a litthe old lady who was humping a few date rolls back to her car.

When he realised the old dear only had two ply, he apologised and ran off empty handed.
