Standard procedure for palmists, soothsayers, fortune tellers, psychics, etc. is to throw out a dozen vague observations, then ignore all of them except the ones that KINDA came close and claim a brilliant success rate. And, century after century, suckers keep falling for it.
Go to Costco and find someone who stocks the shelves. Offer him or her $10 if they will give a call when a new shipment of TP comes in on a truck. More sure and a lot cheaper than utilizing a soothsayer.
I was going to my local Kroger about midday and they were always out of toilet paper. So the other day I decided to try going first thing in the morning and, sure enough, they had some. Whew!
So, if “Psychics” can predict the future, why haven’t they all won the lottery by now, or only invest in stocks that will go up?? Why do they work for tatty carnivals, and out of cheap storefronts??
Whenever a palm reader asks to read your palm, do it! Ask them if you’re going to murder another palm reader. Let the gasping spew of uhmmm’s and ahh’s begin.
We were doing ok until the Minnesotan’s felt fine clogging the highways on Fridays and cleaning out the Wisconsin stores. Minnesotan’s, you can’t live with ‘em, you can’t stuff ’em in a sack.
I’ve heard that the reason there is no toilet paper is that people used to go to work to poop. I hardly ever took a dump at work or when out at a restaurant or at a gas station or rest stop. Hotels yes. Other public buildings hardly ever. I guess that makes me the odd man out.
I’ll simply believe what I am told about this without fact checking. There are too many other rumors out there to be able to track down the trivial ones.
I did the palm reader bit once. It was at a fair. I went in and put my $5 on the table. She was a nice looking woman. She took my hand and started the palm reading bit. Then all of a sudden she looked up at me in horror. She jumped back. She screamed at me to take my money and leave. She then ran out the back of the tent as fast as she could. That was years ago and I have never figured out what happened.
The good news is toilet paper just arrived. The bad news is that the manager is selling it out the back door for triple the price to avoid being arrested for price gouging.
They restock daily, you just have to get there early enough. Even limiting people to one package each, it’s usually gone by 10am. On rare occasion the shipment comes late.
Locally, the supermarkets and drug stores have some stocks of TP. It’s mostly off-brand, no doubt scratchy stuff, but if you were desperate it would be there. Occasionally I see name brands like Scott or Northern, but I still wouldn’t use them. I’m confident that by the time my supply is in danger, Charmin Ultra-soft will be available again.
I worked for a New Age publisher for a few years. After 9/11, they had one of their managers write a book “demonstrating” that astrology had predicted it. They made a profit on it. Shameless.
Laugh-In bit from the ’60’s man goes to fortune teller. she looks in ball and says “I see you meeting a woman she will give you bad advise and take your money.” Man pays her and leaves then fortune teller says “This thing is starting to work,”

If she’s wrong and there is no toilet paper that day, those tarot cards will finally be useful.

Every time I go to Costco, they have plenty of their Kirkland brand TP, but no Charmin Ultra Soft, which is far better!

Masks are the new normal. I wonder what other changes we will inflict upon ourselves. Sort of like the ‘duck and cover’ of long ago.
