Hugo Chavez is still warm and his country is up a certain creek, literally.
The country has ran out of toilet rolls and the Government are importing 50m rolls to boost supplies.
"This is the last straw," said Manuel Fagundes, possibly after using his last straw, "I'm 71 years old and this is the first time I've seen this."
President Nicolás Maduro, claims that anti-government forces are causing the shortages in an effort to destabilise the country and announced along with the 50m bog rolls, it also would import 760,000 tonnes of food which was probably not the best time to say it.
Commerce minister Alejandro Fleming blamed the shortage of toilet tissue on 'excessive demand' and explained that normal monthly consumption of toilet paper was 125m rolls, but that current demand 'leads us to think that 40m more are required'.
Disappointingly he didn't elaborate why demand had spiked but i'm sure that they will get to the bottom of it.
Might want to cut back on the prunes for a while though, at least until the next delivery.
