C'est la Vie by Jennifer Babcock for June 30, 2010

Mona is getting nowhere fast….

Jean-Jacques, I think, must be another of Mona’s older brothers. Fat and sassy and hoping to be rich. Bet he winds up fat, grumpy, poor, and alone….

Or, he becomes filthy rich and has Russian supermodels falling all over him.

I didn’t know that having to buy new jeans affected my bottom line.

Here’s the reality of the situation.

I like this guy. He’s stuffed like me.

good use of a French proverb there! Full marks!

(Well, it’s an axiom, perhaps, or maybe even a quote from Moliere or Dumas or somebody, but I remember it from doing French lit at school…)

(although, sometimes a fat man is just a greedy bastard who can’t bear to put the knife and fork down…)

The proverb USED to be true. Only the well-off could afford to eat three (or more) full meals a day, and could afford plenty of meat, cheese, and so on. The poor had to struggle by on fresh vegetables and whole grains, and could only eat their fill on special occasions. Nowadays, there’s plentiful, processed, and fatty foods easily obtainable no matter what your budget, while the rich eat tiny portions of healthy foods at exhorbitant prices in fancy restaurants…

mona’s past is indeed atrocious

How come all those millionaires is shoppin at Walmart
