The strategic toilet paper reserve
In my 20s, I was sharing a house with some other guys. Four of us shared one bathroom. Before I moved in, somehow toilet paper was purchased, but it was a game of waiting out the others, and I always cracked. I bought four roll packs, but I kept them in my bedroom, and only brought them out one at a time, and only when no paper was left and only when I needed to wipe my ass. More than once, I used the last, or left only enough for one wipe, and 24 hours or more later, no one had bought TP.

SO since then, I have kept a strategic toilet paper reserve. I set aside a roll and don't use it, except when I run out and I'm too lazy to go shopping, but then I always make sure to replace it. Recently I moved, and discovered that the strategic toilet paper reserve had grown to five rolls: One in my dresser, one in my car, one in my luggage, one in my soft sided set of drawers, and one in my picnic box.

I have a pretty extensive collection of small batteries too. Anyone need an LR357?
