Well now. I didn't finsh that story. There is a difference between being down on your luck and digging out of dumpsters for 10+ years.

Yes, I have been so poor that I hadn't eaten for several days. Borrowed a friends truck (no money for gas), went out and shot me a deer and skinned that bastard. Sold the backstrap and bought some spaghetti and ate spaghetti for 2 weeks. But digging in the garbage is just low. I was brought up better than that and If my dad saw me do that, he would probably cry.

I understand that another mans trash is another mans treasure, I am the king of that with auto parts. I make ~500.00 a month selling/dealing 4x4 parts in the offroad community. I have alot of things that were once on the curb. (i go to *the* biggest univeristy in the US)

Now food? That is just being poor and lazy. Course this is from someone who is self sufficient enough to keep himself from scavenging.
