Toilet rolls? Really people?

Of all the dumbASS things to buy in an emergency, stocking up on toilet rolls would have to be the stupidest because it's something we can all find a simple and unlimited replacement for - an old washcloth, rubber gloves, and a bucket of warm soapy water.

Which is ironic since when they run out of food, they won't need toilet paper anyway. Sometimes humanity is just embarrassing.

Handshaking? Ugh!

Never did like handshaking anyway.
