The Toilet Paper Caper
Barry and Allen scanned the gaps below the stall doors.
“It’s clear. Go!” Barry said.
Allen’s job was to steal the toilet tissue, which in public restrooms more resembles paper, sandpaper.
Allen burst through the first door and paused. “Uh… Barry? There’s more security in here than in our apartment.”
Barry, who was keeping watch, peeked in. “Pick the lock.”
“Seriously?”
“O.K.… Uh… Unroll them.”
Allen unrolled each roll and shoved the wads into his backpack. The pair casually ran to the parking lot where Barry’s car was no longer waiting.
“The toilet paper was more secure than your car.”

The TP might be worth more than the car! Nice twist.

It all depends on the car. The fact that they’re stealing toilet tissue suggests they don’t drive a nice car.

Haha! Never mind, maybe they can afford a new car with what they’re saving on toilet paper!

Maybe they can buy a new car with half the toilet paper they stole.

If one is stealing toilet tissue from a public restroom, they already have problems.

Hope the toilet paper was worth its weight in . . . cars. 😂

Dear Nobbin,
Sandpaper is the apt description. I prefer Charmin myself. 😉 I think Barry and Allen need to get a life. Well, first one of them needs to get a car. 😉 Funny.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Apparently, they really need toilet tissue first. Priorities, you know. Thank you, Rochelle.

Yeah. I think their plan was flawed all the way around.

If I had to choose between walking and having something to wipe with or driving and not, I’d choose the former. They came out ahead on that one. Funny story.
Your pups are looking so lubby dubby and cute in the pic.

I don’t know. I think I’d split the difference and invest in a bidet.
Thing’s a big snuggler.

YUP … no luxury paper in public restrooms. Funny way they thought about taking it despite the lock.

LOL. This reminds me of King’s Last Gunslinger series where paper was in really short supply (a writer’s worst nightmare, I’m sure.) Imagine if there were … no more toilet paper. Unfortunately, a lot of people have low morals and high imaginations of late. If only we could put that same energy into caring for other people and our planet.

In times of great need, it pays to have low morals and high imaginations. I agree that if we used that energy for better purposes the world would be a much better place. Thank you.
