Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for January 13, 2023

Just add dirt and you got mud.

ICE – do I need to write it down for you?

Ethanol.

If Aunty thinks she has problems, I got a box of powdered water but I don’t know what to add to it.

Ramen noodles.

Depression tomato soup. Ketchup in hot water.

That hobo staple: stone soup.

Pasta.

hmm salt and paper maybe?

Water and diet pills – work wonders for weight loss fat lady.

Paying bills; working miracles – what’s the difference?

Ramen stretchers, if you can score someone’s missed change in a coin return.

Bread.

Same here, Auntie!

Have you never heard of Stone Soup?

You can always go to the soup kitchen.

To be honest, water goes well with any dish. I stared ordering just ‘water’ with my restaurant meals, and was amazed at how much money I saved by not ordering any menu drink items.

If she had friends, she could go drop by for a snack.

More water.

Vietnamese Phở is pretty good.

Great Noodles, tasty Broth.

And, it tends to come in Humongous Bowls.

Adding crushed ice makes a great, sugar-free Slushee!

Tang clear. No calories, no color, no nothing, just water.
