Quote of the Whenever: Canned Meat Edition

Posted on March 30, 2005 @ 6:14 pm

“I’m torn between my love for Vienna Sausages and my love for state services.”

– lobbyist Lauren Moughon, in response to a
proposed Washington state tax on canned meats

Feel free to play along at home and fill in the blanks! “I’m torn between my love for ______________ and my love for ______________.” Personally, I’m torn between my love for Doritos and my love for non-orange fingertips.

    I’m torn between my love for ice cream and my love for wearing a bathing suit in public.

    This hits waaaay too close to home; I live in Olympia! :)

    I don’t have an amusing “love” combo, but I do wonder how the state is going to make any money on this. If food costs increase, they’ll end up spending (probably more than) the $11 mil just to maintain benefit levels for the low income folks who are the most likely consumer of canned meats in the first place!

    I’m torn between my love of sleeping in and my love of leaving the office at 3:30 pm. If I could only convince my boss to let me work 4 hours days at full-time pay. :sigh:

    I’m torn between my love for spicy cheetos and my love for a non-enflamed anus.

    You’re not going to believe this, but I was actually eating Doritos while reading this. Orange ones (Four Cheese) to boot.

    And I was scrolling and clicking the mouse with my un-orange-ified fingers (middle and ring).

    Anyway, I thought I’d share, since you seem to be spying on me now.
