Our panel of experts is formed by Marty Bryant, Iona Trailer, Buford T. Justice, Diamond Dave, Braxton Hicks, Rich, Big Nasty, and myself, Rick Bland. Eight people who have exhibited superhuman abilities in problem solving. We will pose weekly questions and let our panel sort out the facts and draw the appropriate conclusions. All answers are acceptable; nobody is wrong (yet). Everybody has one week to respond. Panel members are allowed to respond as often as they like, if they feel it is necessary. Since everyone on the panel either currently resides in Greene County or spent a great part of their life there, we'll focus heavily on questions related to that.
After everyone has had their say, Rick Bland will post the final, correct answer. At that time, the discussion will be closed and we will focus on the next week's question. As this is all in fun, I don't have to remind everyone to treat each other with at least a little respect. You are THE PANEL, after all.
We'll start out the first week with something easy. Something that you guys will probably consider child's play. Our panel will not feel challenged this first week. Consider this a practice run. Remember, the world is waiting to hear your wisdom. Just drag your mouse to the right of Rick Bland's byline at the bottom of this post to click on the "comments" link that will appear. Click on it and post!
The Question Of The Week is: If you ran out of toilet paper Sunday night at midnight and lived in Jefferson, where would you go to get some, and why?

My first choice would have been to go to Jim's Super Valu. In lieu of that, I would restrict all food and fiber intake. I would set my tennis shoes next to my bed. I would ready myself for a ride to Russell or Kelso Park if needed. Next day, I'd replenish inventory.
ReplyDeleteGet more from under the sink, because that's where I keep it.
ReplyDeleteSomething close to this has actually happened before! I guess you substitute kleenex or worse yet paper towels until Monday AM when a store opens up. We have very good friends next door who I am sure would come to the rescue, if needed.
ReplyDeleteOh, what a dilemma to have when stores are closed. One could go the parks to use their facilities or do you suppose that is enough of an emergency to call 911? Wouldn't you call that an Emergency? I suppose Kleenex would work in the short term, clogging up the pipes. Or if prone to be stupid enough to let your paper supply get that low buy a Toto washlet in advance. You've heard of the $600. toilet seat that the government has purchased. Pressing a remote button a jet will squirt water to cleanse you sufficiently that will get you through the night. It even has a button to blow the area dry.

ReplyDeleteYou could get arrested and use the LEC's paper.
ReplyDeleteBecause "the LEC is always open". I think that was Sheriff Kurth's anti-crime campaign slogan.
ReplyDeleteI would probably go up to Perry and get some from behind the seat of any unlocked pickup parked in front of a bar.
ReplyDeleteReviewing past practices in an emergency situation like that, I would be wearing flip flops due to a sock shortage.
