Here's what you can do
Make 100 copies of this booklet. The more people you give a copy to, the better off everyone will be. Mail them to your friends; give them to your neighbours. Ask them to care enough to make 100 copies too, to pass around.
These suggestions were compiled by someone who, in 61 years, has seldom been without heat, power, water, food, shelter, friendly neighbours - and gas. Our family-owned company, Tilley Endurables, is known for the quality and practicality of its travel clothing and Tilley Hats. But because Y2K will be a cold-weather situation, our Company hasn't that much to offer you.
There is one item which would be very helpful, however, to help you stay feeling clean. It's our 'fast-drying, sweat-defying' underwear. You would wear it under your long underwear, and, every day or so, you'd remove your Tilleys, wash them, and put on another set while the first dries. That way, even though you didn't have a chance to change or wash your long johns, an important part of you feels clean. Our unique undershirts, which have short sleeves, will keep you much warmer than if you didn't wear one. The underpants are always comfortable, and virtually never feel damp. I'd recommend that fast-drying liner socks (you'd get them at a sporting goods store) be worn under regular socks for the same reason.
During 1999, we will provide our underwear at a 25% discount if the purchaser whispers to our staff, 'these are for Y2K.' The limit at a discount is 2 per person - which is all anyone really needs. If you would like a catalogue (it's been a frequent prize-winner over the years) phone us at 1-800-ENDURES or visit us at www.tilley.com.
Whether it will it be a Grand Adventure - or a period of misery - is up to you. While hoping for the best, we must begin to prepare for the worst, and to prepare NOW, while there is still time. And if a really bad version of the worst looks like it will happen, insure yourself far in advance. Be ingenious - just like the young hero of "Home Alone". God bless, and in the spring of 2001, may we all have a good laugh over this.
Your friend,
P.S. My lawyer has suggested adding these words: this document provides guidance and advice. However, because of its general nature, nothing you read here constitutes legal or professional advice.
