You Know The Sound



That moment when you run out of paper towels, and there’s nobody around to bop over the head with the tube…


So, Jeremy has now delved into the awful awful realm of memespeak.  The whole "That moment..." series should probably die now.  It has nowhere left to go.  


So, we all know how to properly dispose of the cardboard tube left when a roll of paper towels expires.  You take it out of the holder, hit somebody in the head with it, then toss it in the trash can.  It's a universal truth.  

I'm not even sure what is so satisfying about batting somebody in the head with a paper towel tube, but it's pretty much the perfect therapy.  You feel better because you got to hit somebody, the other person is amused by the fact that they just got whapped and it didn't hurt in the slightest, and you both get to have a chuckle at the pleasant "boop" sound the roll makes upon impact.  I'm willing to bet a whole dollar you've never known anybody who got mad at being bopped with an empty paper towel tube.   



 
After all that, not long ago, I ran out of paper towels.  I had a perfectly good cardboard tube ready to go, and nobody was nearby to bop over the head.  It was very sad.   

On an unrelated note, here's a magic trick featuring paper towels by internets comedian Bo Burnham
