Fastidiousness
Great SCOTT! The island nation of Taiwan is running out of toilet paper. This country of 23.6 million is in a panic and the paper is flying off the shelves. It seems there is a shortage of fiber pulp stemming from forest fires in Canada and production problems in Brazil. Globalization! Apparently there are not many trees on the island. Where is mainland China when you need them? In another time we might have been able to send them some Sears Roebuck catalogs. Curiously, this household staple is sold "folded" in packs rather than in rolls which brings me back to the title of this post.
