Where have all the shower caps gone?

I'm "shocked" that this has not made the news headlines and that the Current Affairs shows have not done a story on this.

I decided that I was going to be super organised and have everything packed into my toiletry bag, without those "last minute" throw ins that one places after the morning shower- including my shower cap.  I must admit that I frequently forget to pack it anyway.

But not this time!

Armed with my shopping list, I headed to the the grocery store.....nothing! The cap section was vacant.  

"Never mind" I thought, I'll get one from the chemist.....Wrong!

After looking in EVERY aisle, I asked the assistant, who assisted me..to find an empty space!

"What the!"

She helpfully suggested that I could go to the grocery store!

So out I trudged today, into another chemist, again scouring the likely areas..shampoo aisle-NO!

Plastic travel containers and travelly stuff.NO!

Again resorting to the assistance of the Assistant

"Yes we have them in the shampoo aisle"- "Uh- we must have moved them".  

It was then that I voiced my theory to her....

"I think that the terrorists have bought ALL the showercaps to use them for something terrible"

I also explained my painful recent escapades.

She laughed out loud and then asks another lady, "You'll find them over near the travel section" ( I so could get a job here with my similar powers of perception).

Well after fumbling around for a minute, she finds ONE!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!  My hair will thank you.

So I'm still left wondering, why there's a sudden shortage

Have you heard anything?...

I'm also thinking of reselling this precious plastic showercap on Gumtree!
