small potatoes

How to Swindle a Westerner: A Short Guidebook | Clarissa's Blog



I had a guy who used to pull this sort of thing on my all the time (the small potatoes stuff), but his needs were somewhat genuine, and this was at a time when John Howard was in power, trying to convince us all to adopt a lower-middle class mentality of mean-spirited concern for every cent we could grab, so given the choice, I preferred to cast my lot with the lumpen proles than with these lower-middle class mean-spirited vegetables. At least the former were happy, free-spirited and highly entertaining. That is better than being grey and hostile to anyone who seems not to be as puritanical as thou.
