I was like WTF, its toilet paper and if you're that worried that people think you're a freak for stockpiling it, chances are, you are.

So im standing in the checkout isle and two little Asian ladies are in front of me, they look spent and have their trolleys piled up with their 4 packets of toilet paper rations and the rest of Handy Ultra bloody kitchen towel and I got to thinking, they've probably been to every supermarket within a 50 mile radius and have now resigned themselves to substituting kitchen towel for toilet paper and it made me think, don't worry about Panadol, prescription medication or antivirals, what you're gonna need is liberal amounts of Aloe vera for your red raw **** cheeks.

So I turn to my Son and say in front of half a dozen people, if and when I contract Corona Virus and it becomes so bad that im ****ting through the eye of a needle and therefore would require a stockpile of toilet paper im just going to stand up from the toilet bowl, **** cheeks covered in waste product and run myself a shower.

How long it going to be before you go to walk into woolies and some bloke approaches and says 'you need a roll? I got rolls'. Maybe its all getting sent abroad kind of like that baby formula thing a while back. I dont know how many bog rolls china produces but i know theres many export restrictions to that general area of the world. I do know production in one factory in south australia has ramped up a gear due to extra demand for poo tickets. Im guessing plumbers will have a busy time in the near future as paper towel or tissues dont flush as well if we run out of bog rolls.
