Dunno. I never could figger that out. When there is a big blizzard
predicted, people go out and buy vanloads of TP. It must be built into
the female psyche somehow. If there is a weather threat, buy all the TP
you can.
One possible explanation might be related to the 70s. After the oel
companies successfully created a "oel shortage" and managed to almost
double the price of Benzin, the paper companies decided to create a TP
shortage. Like trained lemmings, as soon as they announced that TP
might be in short supply, people went out and cleared the shelves of
TP. That was the first time I remember hoarding TP. Before that, the
snears catalog or a corn cob worked.
Ever since that time, the lemmings will go out and buy 5-10 years worth
of TP at any major storm prediction. I have no idea what they do with
all of it.

What's with the TP?
I buy twelve packs of "mega rolls" (supposedly equal to 48 normal rolls).
When I'm down to half a pack I start looking for a sale. If I'm afraid
the roads
will be closed for a week, I make sure I've got a week's worth of food and
generator gas for the furnace/refrigerator/well pump.
Mitch.
