CMUS (once again posted on Friday)

Certainly everyone is familiar with the "dinnertime admonition"

There are people starving in _____________(name your third world country)who would be glad to eat your food."

This phrase has been amended in the Sophanne house specifically for the New Puppy.

There are plenty of people in ____________________(name your third world country) who would love to eat YOU for dinner.

Mr. Sophanne is a s funny as his name suggests.

LOL that is funny, my standard response was always "Oh really? then send my (insert nasty food item) to THEM!"

I suppose the same thing could be said about the kids.

I've always avoided that admonition myself, since the illogic of it drove me crazy when I was a kid. How is my eating or not eating some disgusting food item going to affect some poor starving child in wherever? How about taking the money you used to buy that frozen okra and sending it to that kid, so he can get some rice, hmmm? My mother never did understand.
