When I heard in prison that, at the outset of the pandemic, people went wild and started hoarding toilet paper, I just had to laugh. That’s exactly what inmates do on a daily basis. I wrote a limerick about it years before the outbreak that instilled a toilet panic:
Yes, people, you do have an issue. You reflexively hoard toilet tissue, And feed black market hype Over nasty ass wipe. O, Prison! I'm not going to miss you.
So, things aren’t so different at all.
