I got a hold of a supply of toilet paper!

I was gassing up my car when, on a whim, I went into the station's convenience store and found a shelf with about three packages left.

Now I have to tell the families of the other contenders that they fought bravely, but ultimately lost out to me.


Just kidding. I took one package (because I'm not an asshole), and I'm hoping that will last us until the lock-down ends.

when I would spin the TP roll like it was the wheel of fortune. Now it's like I'm cracking a safe.

there are actually six faces to use for wiping: front, back, and the four edges.

If you thought you overpaid, think about the bargain you finagled if you use all six faces.

He said Germans were hoarding toilet paper and cheese crackers, and that the French were hoarding red wine and condoms.

Whatever you think need for survival, I guess.
