    Mikey's house guest: "Mikey I'm going to have some ice cream. Where are your spoons?"
    Mikey: "In the spork drawer."
    House guest: "Spork drawer?"
    Mikey: "Yup. Next to the hot sauce and behind the Burger King ketchup packets."

    Chipotle, Wendy's, Subway and friends.

    Most of these are from Wendy's, Taco Bell and KFC. I don't use silver, so those are a cost-effective substitute.

    Taco Bell, Burger King and McDonald's contributed to my drawer full of condiments. And I thank them constantly.

    Holy shit, that is some collection.

    Reminds me of in college when I was so poor, I needed to steal toilet paper and towels out of university buildings. Man, that one-ply stuff was not fun at all.

    It's no wonder, mikey hasn't ... you know.

    Potential GF: Mike, how a bout a nice romantic, candelight dinner.
    Mikey: Sounds, great. I can get a book of matches from a bowl at Applebees. Where can I scrounge a free candle, though?
    Potential GF: Uhhhh.
    Mikey: Hey, I might have some leftover sterno cans. We're on.

    I did that, too. I lived across the hall from my floor's utility closet. My girlfriend had a deluxe double, which had a toilet. Rather than have her buy paper, I just helped myself to an open door. I kept about 20 rolls in my room, and when the semester was done and I was packing to leave, she came up. When the door was open, I shoveled over each roll one by one, rightfully returning them.

    My wife: "What's so funny?"
    Me: "Just saw something hilarious online."

    Thank God she didn't ask for further evidence. "Well honey you see there's this guy Mike on SportsJournalists.com and all his silverware, condiments and napkins are from fast food restaurants."

    You are a strange, crazy bastard. And take the napkins off the stove. You'll burn the house down!

    Firefighter #1: "This is an intense blaze, yet strangely aromatic."
    Firefighter #2: "Yeah. You wanna get Taco Bell after we finish pulling out this blackened corpse?"

    Scoff if you must, but I've saved at least $10 over the last three years using this method.

    Everything's back in order, sir. The gas was off, just in case.

    Mikey: "And if you don't finish your meal, I have three styrofoam containers from Applebees I can give you."
    Potential GF: "Uhhh..."
    Mikey: "Oh an environmentalist? I can appreciate that. OK then I have a doggie bag for you."

    I'm failing to see, though, how plastic forks, etc, are cheaper in the long run than actual silverware. You buy five forks, five spoons and five knives at a dollar store for a total of three bucks, and you're set. No taking plastics from restaurants, which is just wasteful, anyway.
