Trenton Runs Out of Toilet Paper

New Jersey’s leading producer of excrement is running out of supplies with which to clean it up, Save Jerseyans.

Even folks “across the pond” think it’s amusing:

[The BBC] – Trenton’s city council has refused to approve a $42,000 (£26,855) contract for paper products after baulking at its $4,000 charge for paper cups.

The toilet paper, along with other supplies, is to be used in government buildings such as city hall.

Removing the cups from the contract has not allayed the council’s suspicions over the bidding process.

One council member told Bloomberg News that “we’re not going to send out any blank cheques”.

George Muschal said the council did not want to approve Mayor Tony Mack’s decision to include $4,000 of paper cups designed for hot drinks, citing unreasonably high costs for the items.

It voted down the contract three separate times, most recently in January.

Insert punchline here…
