Do you remember the old Mighty Mouse cartoons, where it shows the little family down on its luck? The three or four of them turn over a can of beans and one lonely bean hits the plate, and they proceed to slice it into thin little beanlets to share. Then a large rolled-up document with "mortage" written on it weighs heavily on the roof of their house. The whole scene is ramshackle and sad.
That's how I felt today as I put the last roll of toilet paper on the toilet-paper thingee. That is, until ...
... I realized that the Petite Filet gets her first monthly paycheck today. Even better?
I get paid tomorrow.
So for about a week, before we pay all our bills and go grocery shopping, we'll be "rich" in our own little way. Let's have a party!
you go boi! I had to go out and get tp yesterday. My roommate and his girlfriend went through a pack of like 24 rolls in less than a month. Yet my roommate wants me to pay for half of it. I'm still on the second roll I got from the pack. There are two rolls left.
LOL I know exactly how you feel! I'm corssing my fingers hoping that I get paid tomorrow. I might have to wait until Monday.
Go out there and buy the fam one of them fancy cans of beans!
2 paychecks are better than one. That's almost a guarantee!
But if you have a party, then you won't be able to pay the mortgage. ;)
I actually do remember that cartoon...I didn't remember it was Mighty Mouse but I remember the bean slicing.
I'm pretty sure you can still catch those Mighty Mouse cartoons on Boomerang at about 3 in the morning.
Aw, I love that cartoon! Thanks for the memory, and congrats to Petite Filet for her job!
I had the funniest argument ever with an old roommate over toilet paper! We were out of it, and she bought some, and showed it to me, saying I know someone who'll be using her hand if she isn't nicer.." I said "not if you keep leaving your clothes in the bathroom floor." I hardly ever get one-liners on people, so I was proud of that one. Especially when she flounced right into the bathroom and picked up her clothes!
Great entry man. I see like 30 seconds of my paycheck. I give it right to the wife. She should sing "Here I come to save the daaaaaayyyyyy!!"
