Passengers would board my bus with as many rolls they could carry. I use to have fun with them. I’d offer to buy all they had at a ridiculous price. One guy went into a store and ran out with his arms loaded and into the street where I almost ran him over. Killed stealing toilet paper. Too crazy. Thanks for sharing.
Great post, Mike! We had vicious toilet paper wars here in Australia, too, with people literally punching each other to get as many rolls as they could. One especially ludicrous altercation happened early on in the viral hysteria when two women tried to gouge each other's eyes out in the toilet paper aisle. One of them thought the other one had bought too many rolls and began grabbing them from the other's trolley. It was a sight to behold with attendant screaming, hair pulling, and copious cussing. They ended up being charged, hauled before a judge, and fined. Before the police went full-on fascist here in Melbourne and I could still laugh at what they said, the police commissioner told people to calm down with, "This is not Thunderdome." As you say, why did the threat of a viral pathogen inspire people to fight to the death over toilet paper of all things? So much about this entirely fabricated and utterly colossal disaster completely perplexes me.

You've so nailed this. Thanks again for a really good piece of writing and Truth telling. Keep going.
Thanks Ellen. I'll take your good advice and keep going. Thanks for the nice compliment.

Thank you.
we are on the same wavelength again.. :)
You may be right. A hammer is to conventional. A 14lb rotten salmon might do it. Thanks again. Excellent comments and observations.
Excellent!!
