Poor people are fat, rich people are skinny.
 
Smart people are stupid. The song "The Final Countdown" is now playing in your head.

Cellar people are head and shoulders above the rest.

People, who who don't need people, are the happiest people.

McDonalds is cheaper than shopping and cooking.

People keep saying that, but I question whether the math has been done. Can you imagine having a $500 a month food budget--PER PERSON??? That is what just under $6 per meal comes to.

But, not unlike a post-McDonalds purge, it's easier to just regurgitate such statements.

The food may be less, but the mortgage and the stove add up.;)

Well when they started the $1 and $3 meals or whatever they were, I think that is when people really started to take notice. If you had a $3 meal 2 times a day for 30 days that only comes out to $180 a month. I can't eat there and have not for quite a few years now. I just refuse.

and it used to be the reverse. same with being tanned--it used to be that rich people were pale, and poor people were tanned, and now, el flippo.

McDonalds is my fast food joint of choice because I love the fact that I can eat pretty healthily there nowadays. A chicken snack wrap and a fruit and walnut with an unsweetened iced tea work great for me.

Dunno what you get for $3, but you'd need more than 2 of them a day.

I also refuse Maccas and Jacks (what we call burger King). Just say no.

Isn't it the other way round? Hungry Jacks here and Burger King there?

ZenGum 08-12-2010 06:33 AM

"[hungry] Jacks" [which is] what we call Burger King.

Sheesh, after all those Chinglish essays you've read, that should have been easy. :P

Someone just sent me this joke.
---------------------------------------
I went into Hungry Jacks the other day and, as I was ordering, two Muslim women walked in.
I saw they had the most colourful garments from head-to-toe and I immediately thought to myself........
"The burqas are better at Hungry Jacks".

ZenGum 08-13-2010 01:30 AM

:lol:

I doubt that one will translate too well.

Zen, I have such faith in your ability to be right in matters of fact and reasoning that I thought it impossible that you would have made such a mistake.

Is it that poor people are fat, or that fat people are poor?

Shawnee123 08-14-2010 08:52 AM

Mr Garrison, why do poor people smell like sour milk?
