    We lived for three months in a brown paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six o’clock in the morning, clean the bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down mill for fourteen hours a day week in-week out. When we got home, out Dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt!

      According to Alfred Matthew Yankovic:

      There were seventy three of us living in a cardboard box.

      All I got for Christmas was a lousy bag of rocks.

      Every night for dinner, we had a big ol’ chunk of dirt.

      If we were really good, we didn’t get dessert.
