Danes help with toilet paper shortageTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OSLO, Norway -- Danes rushed emergency relief to their Nordic siblings in Norway on Friday to help wipe out a toilet paper shortage.
A strike by truckers in Norway has been escalating since it began on March 21, leaving some food stores short of certain products. Even though toilet paper had not been among the items the industry expected to dry up, nervous Norwegians hoarded anyway, leaving shelves bare in some stores.
Denmark's P3 radio station got wind of the Norwegians' dilemma and broadcast a humorous appeal to listeners for contributions of toilet paper to be shipped to their Nordic neighbors.
