Golden Oldie

I used to think I was poor. Then they
told me I wasn't poor, I was needy. Then
they told me it was self-defeating to
think of myself as needy. I was deprived.
(Oh not deprived but rather underprivileged)
Then they told me that underprivileged was
overused. I was disadvantaged. I still
don't have a dime. But I have a
great vocabulary.

-Jules Feiffer
(1965)
