Crack Skulls for Water!

Why put a pot of water on the stove when you could scrap it out with a total stranger in the Costco parking lot instead? Indeed, there really is nothing like a good old-fashioned "crisis" to get the general populace whipped up into a skull-crackin' frenzy. Meanwhile, forming their own "calm eye of the storm", so to speak, outdoorsy camping gadgeteers have been seen protectively clutching strange-looking apparatus (apparati?) and smiling smugly to themselves.

Jaesus. Makes you wonder how these people would behave in an actual crisis.

I can't believe it... it's just too much...

Water is falling from the sky in quantity, and people are fighting over the bottled stuff.

Buy a tarp or a kiddie pool at Canadian Tire, and leave it on the sidewalk for an hour. The people doing the freak-out don't likely drink water from the tap anyway, so what the hell?

People are buying flats and flats, when honestly, the water's already starting to clear and I think the ban will be lifted soon enough.

Idiots. Evidently the dog and the car need to be washed in Perrier?

Jeff Chan,
Funny, insightfull, brilliant! I am so glad you have had the chance to experience what true superiority feels like. In the future those who have water filters will rule the Earth! The funny thing is, anyone can buy one. Thankfully not everyone does, allowing those of us to who do to point and laugh at the small-brained fools around us.
Bask in your glory Jeff!
BASK I SAY!
