Mister Frag 0 Posted May 10, 2004 Precious Toilet Paper Rushed Across Border as Emergency Aid OSLO, Norway (AP) — Danes rushed emergency relief to their Nordic siblings in Norway on Friday to help wipe out a toilet paper shortage. A strike by truckers in Norway has been escalating since it began on March 21, leaving some food stores short of certain products. Even though toilet paper had not been among the items the industry expected to dry up, nervous Norwegians hoarded anyway, leaving shelves bare in some stores. Denmark's P3 radio station got wind of the Norwegians' dilemma and broadcast a humorous appeal to listeners for contributions of toilet paper to be shipped to their Nordic neighbors. The Danes were inspired by Norwegians' playful helpfulness when their own strike several years ago caused a run on baking yeast. "It was a sort of thanks and in the spirit of brotherhood," joked Morten Resen, a host of Danish radio's humor program said. The shipment of at least 1,000 rolls of toilet paper arrived in the Norwegian capital on Friday, and were quickly distributed on a downtown street to Norwegians who didn't mind being the butt of a Danish prank.

As much as some buys the long receipts should be able to cover the weekly wiping needs for a normal sized norwegian family. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
