"Bodyguard: Yeah. Sorry, guys. Look, if it was just you two, you can go in right now. But we got nothing but girls in there. People are gonna start thinking it's a lesbian bar.
Barney: Would you excuse us for a minute? (To Ted) Ted I'm going to be hones. I was full of it with that whole Nostradamus thing.
Ted: No! (sarcastic)
Barney: But I'm starting to think there is some serious planetary cr*p going on here tonight. Never in the history of New York City nightclubs has there been a shortage of dudes. Now even during the great dude shortage of 1883. We've got to ditch these girls. (The ones accompanying them)"

The Corona virus has apparently caused everyone to shit themselves and thus but 9000 rolls of toilet paper.
Our children will not believe this.

In March of 2008 the demand for Kleenex's in Morocco increased at an unbelievable rate. The Moroccan King asked for everyone to stay calm. He attributed the increase in demand for Kleenex to Peace Corps volunteers spending too much time in their masterbatorium, spanktuary, spank schack, whack shack, jack shack, flip n jack, finger hut, spank cave, spank wagon, cumgeon, cum station, lunch punch, stroke boat, spank bank, corner of crank, jerk hut, masturbation station, spankmobile, homostead, spank shed, and master barriums. In particular, undercover sources attibute the increase to one "King of Crank" J-Lub (known for exceptional stroking form.) When asked for comment, J-Lub simply said "whatever dude, I'm gonna go listen to some music." The King has told people to hold strong. The King also claimed that supplies are expected to return to normal around the time of Tallstacks 2010.
Oh man, I shouldn't have ate all that spicy couscous. Now I can't blow my nose due to The Great Moroccan Kleenex Shortage of 08-09

Term used by fanboys to explain why their favorite console isn't selling as well as the Nintendo Wii.
Nintendo is only selling due to artifical shortage. Ninty holds back stocks to create demand. It's not that they're actually running out. Five year old hardware isn't that hard to mass produce, ;)"

The overused and ludicrously transparent procedure of trying to guilt-trip an over-indulger into reducing/eliminating his consumption of the unhealthful/expensive product by trying to appeal to his inherent consideration for fellow humans on the planet who might wish to have a little of the same item for themselves, too. This "this stuff is in alarmingly short supply, so don't hog it all for yourself" technique is seldom overly effective, especially in the modern-day computer age, wherein the glutton can simply “hop online” and find out for himself whether there is actually any imminent risk of said product’s being placed on the endangered species list.
I tried the worldwide shortage strategy on my corpulent cousin to try to convince her to cut back on the chips and chocolate bars, but she just showed me an article on MSNBC that described how the snack-food companies are currently experiencing a junk-food glut in their warehouses, what with so many people’s jumping on the health-nut bandwagon.
