Believe it or not, I could very easily find a joint and eat and leave
bloated and dazed for a lot less than that $13 plate of pineapple, green
substance and some other greens. I did love the pineapple but $13 for
some pineapple is probably not being very frugal. Heck, I can get a
grilled steak and a soft drink for $6 - now that's a deal!
