I love that his childhood diet proves his lack of worth. Oh how times change! Today, it would be, "I grew up so poor, I ate frogs from the pond sometimes! I walked uphill to the outhouse, both ways!! I may live in a ten-bedroom house today, but once upon a time, I did know what ordinary people were like!"

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Oh how times change!

Well, when you extend the franchise to non-landowners, you're gonna switch gears.
