Decomposed > I wound up buying six mega-packages of 24 toilet paper rolls


Hey De,
Wasn't it you who once ran an article about using PVC pipe
to make toilet paper storage out of? (To keep the mice etc.
out of your stash.)

Cardio-rehab and Wal-mart

I resumed driving today. I could have a couple of weeks ago, but my wife enjoys playing chauffeur and who am I to mess with something that works? But I've begun something called "cardio rehab" - which is a short way of saying "working out with a nurse as a trainer in the hospital gym 3x per week" and figured that I'd be doing this so often that I should probably let the wife off the hook. So I drove.

I've been reading that toilet paper is one of the things that quickly sells out in communities hit by the Covid-19 virus. After the workout, I decided to head over to Wal-mart and pick some up. I wound up buying six mega-packages of 24 toilet paper rolls - each package claiming to be the equivalent of 72 "normal" sized rolls. However many rolls it truly was, I can tell you that I had one heaping-shopping-cart full of toilet paper. On the way out, I went through the store's canned food aisle and wound up purchasing all the canned yams they had, too. That was just eleven cans. Not such a big deal.

The cashier didn't say a thing. She probably runs into odd purchases all the time. Before I got to the store exit, though, another customer approached me. "I'm sorry, sir." he said. I see that you're having a crappy day."

I was ready for him. I held up one of the eleven cans of yams so he could see it. "No," I replied. "It's going okay. But my wife asked me to pick up some canned yams for dinner. Yams give me the runs."
