40. That's like telling a group of people who haven't eaten for three days
that the pickup truck-bed full of groceries "isn't a lot of food".

In proportion to all the food in the world, or even all the food on the supermarket shelves? No, it's not a lot of food. But it's a FUCKLOAD of food to someone who doesn't have any.

$300,000 isn't a lot of money to SOME. It's an unbelievable fortune to others. If someone dropped $300k in my lap, I could feed, clothe, and house my entire family for years.

Anyone who thinks that $300,000 isn't a lot of money is more than welcome to drop those lowly 300 G's on MY front doorstep. I'll gladly take that little pittance off their hands and put it to good use.
