'The lawyer is burning his Y2K litigation files in his fireplace trying to keep warm.' LOL

'So rational Joe Public wakes up in the spring of 1999.
Suddenly next winter doesn't seem that far away.

Joe gets more than a little concerned. He decides to wander down to the store and pick up a propane
heater. He'll use the VISA, and hope the charge squeezes through. And, hey, why doesn't he pick up a
few sacks of rice while he's at it? Beat the rush and all that. This is not panic to Joe. This is rational
behavior.

It is so rational that everywhere Joe goes, he meets other people trying to buy the same things and
clutching the same pieces of plastic. Joe starts to walk more quickly from store to store, and he even
finds himself breaking into a jog down the aisles. Faster and faster.. Some places stop accepting plastic!
ATM machines empty.. When the public wakes up and behaves rationally, what then?
