There was a parody mp3 floating around a couple years ago called "The Cat's in the Kettle"

So much for "a man of wealth and taste."

Lately in L.A. we've been to restaurants where they "ask first" if you want bread before plopping a big 'ol basket of it on your table.

The waste factor is huge when someone selects one or two slices from a half-loaf of sourdough they've breathed, coughed and sneezed on for an hour or two...

This poor fellow went looking for scraps in the wrong back alley!

When will our leaders do something for these poor, exploited felines?

I beg to differ. My cat loves lettuce.

Hey DD74...Look at it this way....Look at all the money I'm saving on Veggies outa the Dumpster.... Means I'm getting wealth.

And there is no taste to compare to nice ripe veggies from the Dumpster....and not everybody is going to have the Huzpah to go Dumpster Diving...the taste part so....

I STILL AM A MAN OF WEALTH AND TASTE...

yea....but in this case the wealth is obtained by being so cheap you eat out of garbage............
and the taste is going to stay in your blood forever......gonna be real tough getting a grasp of humanity if your taste of it is in a dumpster somewhere in LA

Funny thread! "A man of wealth and taste"

Let me guess: The food you forage for, tastes all the sweeter?

Hmm. reminds me of the time I saw a bum, fighting the seagulls for scraps outside an inner-city McDonalds Restaurant...

Okay, believe it or not, I was waiting for a seagull reference:

I knew of a guy (didn't know him personally), who went down to Ensenada. He was in a restaurant, and ordered fish tacos. He ate, enjoyed - for a few seconds - then became so ill, they had to airlift him over the border to San Diego. They "opened" him up, even, because what he ate wasn't digesting - you guessed it: seagull.

I heard the guy remained sick for years.

Did any of U read a book called "The Millionaire Next Door" Basically it says that you get wealthy by being cheap... or to be polite frugal.

At least I am being altrustic by Dumpster Diving....

Look after the luxuries and the necessities will look after themselves.

TV has confused the American public about millionaires. The average American believes millionaires live in the Playboy mansion and drive a different luxury car each day of the week. Isabo is right.
