Does no one here remember the Great Toilet Paper Shortage of 1973? Johnny Carson cracked a joke about a toilet paper shortage on the Tonight Show, and within 24 hours the shortage had materialized due to panic buying by consumers nationwide.
The same thing happens on a local basis in, say, Washington DC (where I lived for a total of nearly 8 years) when a snow storm approaches — people clear out milk, bread, and — yes — toilet paper from the supermarkets.
Sheesh. ..bruce..
