    That's a sure sign a country is pretty far down the crapper when the cops are flushed with pride over seizing 2000 rolls of toilet paper. That's like, what, one grocery store's daily sell in the US?

    They're short of fruit juice in Venezuela? That's like being short of ice in Alaska! I guess it still takes work to pick & squeeza da fruit, just as it does to chop out the ice.
