"I Used To Think I Was Poor.

Then they told me I wasn't poor, I was needy.

They told me it was self-defeating to think of myself as needy, I was deprived.

Then they told me underprivileged was overused.  I was disadvantaged.

I still don't have a dime.

But I have a great vocabulary."

Jules Feiffer, Cartoonist
