Chris Jones: "Being Poor Sucks"

Ensuing kickoff.

 

I'm interested in what you define as "rich," because I'm pretty convinced that somewhere in between is best. There have been studies that say you don't get any happier after you make a certain amount (which is not that high), and I agree.

I don't want to be "rich" (depending on how you define it) or poor. Too many headaches either way.

 

Untracked.

 

By world standards, poor here is almost always rich in the developing world. If you're eating two meals a day, seven days a week, you're cooking with gas.

 

Agree. I've seen panhandlers with cell phones here.

 

Those dang poor people trying to have a foothold in society.

 

Inclement weather (has anyone ever called the weather clement?).

 

Even the poor deserve fart apps.

 

LOL...yeah, how do I know whether my two bits in the tin cup is going toward that?

 

I always carry some food from Taco Bell with me just in case I run into any homeless. Of course, it's debatable if that's helping them.

 

I thought this note was kind of funny/ ironic at beginning of column:

"This story appears in the June 11 Women in Sports issue of ESPN The Magazine."

Female athletes who are good in bed might have been a more apropos topic.

 

Vince Gill should know all about fart noises, because that pretty much is what has replaced him on country radio. Disgraceful.
