I recently joined a Facebook group. The concept of which is completely my sence of humour. It is called..
"On May 15th 2008, Everyone go out and panic buy CARROTS!"
Here is the description, from the guy who created the group.
Basically, a few nights ago, when I was very very drunk, I came up with
the idea that everybody should go out and panic buy a certain product
on a specific day.
I'm not quite sure what the reason behind
this is is, other than the fact that a global shortage of carrots would
be quite a laugh.
So, what I'm asking everybody to do, is on
the 15th May, 2008 go out and buy a load of carrots. IF EVERYBODY DOES
THIS, WE CAN MAKE THIS GLOBAL SHORTAGE OF CARROTS HAPPEN!How funny! I'm not sure if the term "panic buy" that is only used in the UK. Just incase, i'll explain it. The media loves a good story. So when they throw headlines out there that suggest something like all bakers are dying of some weird unknown disease, tons of people then go out and buy two months worth of bread. This is panic buying. A few hundred people then end up with what could feed thosands. People go without their sandwiches. People get upset. All apart from those Atkin dietiers, who won't give a shit anyway and sit there all smug.
So you can see from my example, how panic buying is pretty serious. We really don't want to make the pale faced Atkin's people any more smug.
But actually organising a panic buy on a food that people don't really need, (to me), is funny stuff! I can't imagine this idea actually taking off, but imagine if it does! A national shortage of carrots! Maybe I could turn this idea global. Then all the carrots we buy, we could send over to the people that are suffering in the far East because of the panic buying of rice.
Carrot soup anyone? Carrot cake? or.. ermm... what the hell else can you do with a carrot?
Child friendly answers only please.
