THE NEW YORK Jets are headed to London well stocked with footballs, helmets, cereals and 350 rolls of American toilet paper.
Apparently the bog-standard rolls in England are too thin for U.S. backsides and this unfortunate shortcoming required the Jets to plan ahead.
So the Jets decided the best plan of attack was to bring a bunch of the thick stuff with them on their trip to face the Miami Dolphins at Wembley this week.
“Some may say that’s a little over the top or whatnot, but it didn’t really cost that much, so why not?” Aaron Degerness, the Jets’ senior manager of team operations, told the New York Times.
“We’re basically trying to replicate everything that we’re doing here over there.”
It seems that English toilet paper just doesn’t cut it. Or maybe that’s precisely the problem.
