Title: Japan rolls out campaign to stockpile toilet paper

From Associated Press:

Japan rolls out campaign to stockpile toilet paper
QuoteA message Japan began delivering Monday is a bit unusual, but true enough: Don't wait until it's too late to think about toilet paper.

The government and paper companies kicked off a "Let's stockpile toilet paper!" campaign to mark Disaster Prevention Day, warning of a possible crisis because nearly half of the supply comes from one of Japan's most earthquake-prone areas.

I thought everybody in Japan had microprocessor controlled toilet seats with user programmed cleansing functions. I'd figured TP was obsolete over there by now...

Yes, but some people still use TP since not everyone likes what those tentacles do...

I do hope Mr. Whipple was consulted for this program to ensure that the Charmin is not squeezed during distribution.

Mr. Whipple and Mr. Sparkle need to team up.

There are dispensers for TP everywhere, so you should really stock up on 100円 coins

Good articles, shared with my friends.

There is nothing wrong with preparing for a disaster.

This can also be a poop joke.
