Thirtysomething

Different Strokes for Different Folks

One of the neighborhoods we looking to move into is also home to some low income housing. I'm hoping to earn some street credit in the process. Anyway, I'm totally aware of how stereotypical and un-PC this is, but whenever we drive by this section of town, it never ceases to amaze me how many DirectTV satellites are attached to these houses. I mean like, many, many satellites. I mentioned this to Ron.
"Why can't they have DirectTV?"
"It's not that they can't have DirectTV. It's just that if you can't afford housing and are on food stamps, I just think it's interesting that you'd have DirectTV."
"Different things are important to different people."
"Apparently."
