There are all sorts of ways to prepare, but here is a fun one. A friend and fellow radio DJ brought this if for one show.
It's toilet paper that has printed on each little fluffly square some tid-bit about earthquake preparedness.
Here it says that gasoline stands are built to withstand enormous earthquakes and they might be a good place to run if things start falling. Yea, right.
On this little piece it gives you a list of provisions you should have packed away in your Earthquake Bag. Things like: duct tape, food, flashlights, batteries, gloves, wet tissues, drinking water, and undy pants.
And this darling tells you that you should buy or make an emergency toilet.
I said this joke on the radio when we aired this show and I don't think I've been very funny since. It went something like... "So when you're sitting on the toilet waiting for the Big One you can read and learn all about the Big One."
Ba dum dum!
