Oregon Police Are Begging People to Stop Calling 911 If They Run Out of Toilet Paper
Darwin is truly hard at work during this “Great Coronavirus Hunkerdown”.
The Gateway Pundit – It’s hard to believe that we
even have to post this. Do not call 9-1-1 just because you ran out of toilet paper. You will survive without our assistance,” Newport Oregon Police said in a Facebook post.
The police had some fun and offered residents alternatives to toilet paper if they were to run out.“In fact, history offers many other options for you in your time of need if you cannot find a roll of your favorite soft, ultra plush two-ply citrus scented tissue,” the police said.
“Seamen used old rope and anchor lines soaked in salt water. Ancient Romans used a sea sponge on a stick, also soaked in salt water. We are a coastal town. We have an abundance of salt water available. Sea shells were also used.”
“Mayans used corn cobs. Colonial Americans also used the core of the cob.
Farmers not only used corn cobs, but used pages from the Farmers Almanac. Many Americans took advantage of the numerous pages torn from free catalogs such as Sears and Roebuck. The Sears Christmas catalog, four times thicker than the normal catalog, could get a family of three wiped clean from December through Valentine’s Day; or Saint Patrick’s Day if they were frugal.”
