For reasons yet to be determined many people thought the Chinese had cut off the supply of toilet paper in America. In fact, the Newport, Oregon police department put out a post telling citizens not to call the police that they run out of toilet paper.
“It’s hard to believe that we even have to post this. Do not call 9-1-1 just because you ran out of toilet paper. You will survive without our assistance,” NPD wrote. “There are always alternatives to toilet paper. There is a TP shortage. This too shall pass. Just don’t call 9-1-1. We cannot bring you toilet paper.”
It got so crazy that The Guilford County Sheriff’s Office issued a news release saying that deputies on Wednesday spotted a toilet paper hijacking. Deputies determined a stolen 18-wheeler and trailer was hauling 18,000 pounds of commercial bathroom paper products, according to the release. No shots were fired, arrests were made and no animals were injured in this operation.
But good old American entrepreneurs come to the rescue again: The Cambridge Bar and Grill in Cambridge ,Minnesota announced all orders totaling over $25 now come with a free roll of toilet paper. “When the customers get their order, you hear a genuine laugh and that’s the best thing right now. I wanted to do something nice, I’m not making fun of it, I just hope it puts a smile on people’s faces,” restaurant owner Sean Okerlund.
So before you go to the bathroom check with your local carry out restaurant and see if you are eligible for the premium.
