There is a story about ninety year old Amanda Perkins who lives all alone in a backwoods cabin, eking out a living on three acres of hardscrabble soil. A social worker came to visit her and said, "Aunt Amanda, I worry about you living out here all alone and not much extra vittles or clothing for you. I think I can arrange for a payment of $300. Would that be alright with you?"

"Sure 'nough, young man. It'd tickle me pink 'cause then I'd have something to give the poor."
