Keep Your Priorities Straight

The [empty] Bottled Water Aisle at Walmart
The [fully stocked] Beer Aisle, taken Seconds Later
Besides, if you’re stuck at home for a month, would you rather sit there drinking water, or…? And hey! There’s a sale on Corona!

Seriously, think! Water delivery is very unlikely to fail, and the people that work there are surrounded by huge quantities of disinfectants. Beer needs a lot of people, from the brewery to truckers to distributors to shelf-stockers, each link in the chain being susceptible to the COVID-19 coronavirus. So which is more likely to suffer a shortage?! But sure, pay more for water than you do for gasoline to show how smart you are.

I took these photos myself at the Walmart in Montrose, Colorado.

Randy Cassingham is best known as the creator of This is True®, the oldest entertainment feature on the Internet: it has been running weekly by email subscription since early 1994. It is social commentary using weird news as its vehicle so it’s fun to read. Click here for the site — basic subscriptions are free.


Comments? Sorry: Facebook retired their commenting system (they didn’t even bother to alert me). Just as well, I suppose, but sadly there is no way to recover the many hundreds of comments made on this site. Lesson learned: never rely on someone else’s site for prime functions, especially “social media”!

Since this site is mostly retired now (maximum of one new post per month), I did decide that since all comments are now gone that I would not attempt to install any new commenting system. -rc
