Potty Time

A standard toilet paper roll
Has shrunk two inches from its goal
Since all we need
Is just pure greed
And one old-fashioned finger bowl

Retailers claimed all of their stock was aboard ships which could not be unloaded, but their warehouses were filled and they just waited until they could jack up the price to substantially increase profits. Fill those "empty" shelves with your moisturizer! Aloha!

What is really disgusting is manufacturers substantially reducing the width and number of "sheets" per roll whilst jacking up the price! Aloha!

Seniors have noticed how tins of food contain less food and more water as the tins shrink! Aloha!
