I was so poor...

I ran across an article on Yahoo News about a poor high school's debating team. The first line of the article begins...

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Over the years, Jane Rinehart has taught a debater so poor that his home was heated with a kitchen stove cranked up to 500 degrees with its door open and the burners blasting.

Hey! That's what we did when I was a kid. I didn't realize I was a poor inner-city youth.
