It's in the (Toilet) Paper!

From what I can tell, the symptoms of corona virus include:

* Fever
* Fatigue
* Dry cough
* Sore throat
* Confusion
* Headache

Nowhere have I read the symptoms include an uncontrollable and insurmountable urge to evacuate the bowels, and spend every waking moment sitting on a commode crapping one's guts out. Therefore, I cannot understand why people are spending up big on toilet paper. Fair dinkum, the woman in front me at the checkout today had about nine lots of those 24-to-a-packet loo rolls. What - and I do meant this in the nicest way - the fuck? There is an infinitesimal chance she was buying the bum paper for a business, but businesses that require bulk-purchased loo rolls, like department stores, are surely more likely to purchase from a supplier whose business is targeted specifically in that manner, I daresay.

I'd better go and grab some dunny paper before it sells out, just so I have something with which to wipe my arse, not because I think there's going to be a critical shortage. But maybe there is going to be a critical shortage because everyone's rushing out to purchase toilet paper in bulk. Geeeez. I'd be more inclined to purchase soap and hand sanitiser, which would be a far more efficacious method of stopping the spread of the virus than a nine-pack of Sorbent.

Oh well, I'm tired. Haven't been doing too much other than work of late. Had a visit from the prodigal on the weekend, who regaled us with tales of university and campus life. He's enjoying it, and we're happy for him.

Got some big news regarding my books soon, tool. Watch this space...
