Even Beggars Won't Choose It: Difference between revisions

A hobo who was lookin' for a handout on the street<br />

He said he'd take most any old thing, he was a desperate man<br />

 

It's easy to be picky and choosy about the brand, make, prettiness, country of origin and such of something you want if you already ''have'' access to a million of it. If you ''don't'', on the other hand, you're more likely to be desperate for it - especially if "it" is an essential need in your situation - and be willing to take whatever you can get. To paraphrase the old saying, beggars are hardly ever choosers.

* ''[[The Garfield Show]]'': In one episode, Garfield tried to get rid of an accordion of Jon's but his effort to give it away only result in it getting quickly returned. Heck even trying to ditch it in the lake prompts a ''mer-man'' to swim up and throw it back.

* ''[[The Simpsons]]'' doubled as a [[Take That]] to their old sponsor Butterfinger where Chief Wiggum tried to throw the candy into fire only for it to be thrown back, unharmed. "Even the fire doesn't want them" Wiggum comments.
