Meme Thread... no politics

Kind of figured he and his grandson would be sitting in a box, not with the rest of the spectators.

I drive the oldest car of anyone I work with, and never eat out for lunch, or buy expensive coffee, etc. 

The difference is that I don't care what anyone else does. It's not a strategy, it's what I've done for my entire life. As the expression goes, "I started out with nothing, I still have most of it."

My favorite New Yorker cartoon

 Once upon a time, I worked overtime on Saturday with my friend Brian.  I pulled in with my red F-100 shortbox, Brian parks three spaces away in his brandy new F-250 Camper Edition, our supervisor wheels in right between us.  We said good morning, Chet stops, turns around to look at the trucks (he was dumping money into a 20+ year old long box)  "What the hell's wrong with this picture?"

Z has done the math and realized there is no retirement. So they are going to enjoy something as they work themselves into a grave.

While I appreciate the sentiment, if they're spending $20 at Chipotle for a single meal, they are doing it waaaaay wrong.

I dunno, I saw the meme while in line at Taco Bell getting lunch today, my order was $21 and it's nowhere near as good as Chipotle...

In reply to Pete. (l33t FS) :

I just ran through Chipotle's menu, and a carnitas burrito bowl with a fountain drink was $12.58 total.  If you want to go fancy, the steak bowl is $13.76 with the same fountain drink.  

You can't even get to $20 if you add both guacamole and queso.

Double meat fixes that, i believe 

In reply to Puddy46 :

I don't know. I just put in an order local to me and the Carnitas bowl with double protein, a side of chips and queso, and a lemonade was $28. 

In reply to Toyman!

To be fair, that is a hefty lunch. Double protein isn't needed (my opinion only, of course).  I'd be splitting that into two meals easily. 

I ran the same meal, and it came to ~$21 at my local.  

Edit:

We need more memes 'round here 

The French fries at Lake Erie Speedway are still ingrained in my mind.

Spent $8.75 today for my chicken and rice etc to-go bowl at Chipotle. Left in my $2,500 4cyl Camry.
