We were so poor we used to take turns wearing the family sock-then when it was crusty enough we'd wring it out to make soup!
my family were so poor that when we wrote a paragraph using burnt sticks on slate natch coz we couldnt afford paper or pencils we also couldnt afford punctuation or capital letters
We were so poor when I had a toothache I couldn't afford a dentist to have it pulled, so I walked up to the neighborhood bully and called him an asshole! Worked like a charm!
Huh-WE were so poor we couldn't afford a neighbourhood bully to punch our teeth out-so I had to punch MYSELF in the jaw. [I have lousy aim-which explains my nose being broken three times]
S'cuse me-I'M not. I really couldn't excuse any reading material that made up jokes as bad as mine,Duck! Anyway,we were so poor we couldn't afford books-I learned to read from looking at passing trucks when I was begging beside the road.
we were so poor that my dads truck was always painted the same colour as the fleet where he worked lol...true story
