As Facebook's the Gherk has pointed out;

Quote
"Deep inside the Yahoo article, after the ominous headline, the Australian Red Cross representative literally says: “We are absolutely not encouraging Australians to run out and start stockpiling food. No panic buying, please.”

My wine delivery from Vinomofo arrived yesterday.  Is it too soon for another order?

And I just postponed my next Who Gives a Crap delivery.  Should I reconsider?

It's a good thing most of our chooks are laying but was I too reckless in giving my sister in law a dozen eggs?

The “stock up” frenzy seems to have originated with Yahoo, and that’s a blast from the past 🙄

Is it a marketing ploy by the supermarkets?

It seems many countries are in fact urging their peoples to stock up.
But it's really non-specific in terms of the supposed threat.

Military conflict, cyber-attack and natural disasters are all getting a run.
Some folks are even suggesting "First contact".
 :D  :D
So stock up on some Reeses Pieces.

Little Johnny is pushing his mate on a billycart up a steep hill when he lets out an almighty array of swear words. A priest is walking passed and upon hearing the profanities he stops and says "Young man, you mustn't swear, for God is everywhere listening"
Little Johny replies "Really? Is God in that tree over there?"
Priest :"Yes Johnny"
Little Johnny: "Is God on that fence over there?"
Priest :"Yes Johnny"
Little Johnny: "Is God on my billycart?"
Priest :"Yes Johnny"
Little Johnny: "Well tell him to get off and fkn help me push then"

Corny but here goes

Surgeon : I'm going to need to operate on that shoulder

Patient : Ok. Will I be able to play golf afterwards?

Surgeon : Yes

Patient : Good, because I can't now.

Anyone else caught up in "the stock up for 72 hours of disruption" frenzy currently doing the rounds....
Woolworths have double length toilet paper (8 rolls) for $8.50.
That's a saving of nearly $4.00. ;)

Erin Patterson's day in court didn't go the way she was hoping; not only did she lose her appeal but the DPP successfully had her non-parole period removed meaning that she should spend the rest of her life behind bars.

From what I could glean from the original trial, Patterson seemed to believe that she was smarter than everyone else, and her appeal reinforced that impression.  She will have plenty of time to ponder whether she overestimated herself.
