I just got an e-mail with the title:

"Toilet Seat Cover Worldwide Shortages"

and it's not spam. It's real. China is shutting down major factory operations in order to clear pollution in Beijing.

Now, don't panic, they still make them here in the good ol' U.S. of A. But Michigan's got union labor and those toilet seat covers don't come cheap.

Good thing my momma taught me the old folded toilet paper trick....of course it's narrower than it used to be....

In either case, I now need to compose a memo alerting our customers to the possible shortage and increased price. Don't you wish you had my job?

Reading the beginning of your posts, I sometimes despair for the future of mankind. But as I finish your communique, I realize that once again, you have it covered.
