Musings and Woes

One of my favourite phrases people use is, "I can't afford that" when they really mean, "That's a piece of shit and I don't want to waste my money on it."

I can't tell you how many of my male friends suddenly "couldn't afford" anything when I suggested we see Brokeback Mountain and then go camping.

Last week I actually paid $6 for a Sensodyne toothbrush. On the sound advice of my dentist.

When I told people, they were like, "You spent how much?"

Let me be clear. It wasn't 6 million dollars. What am I to do?

"Hey Paul, want to grab a coffee?"

"Naw, I'm saving up for a toothbrush. Thanks anyway."
