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.

We were so poor, we use to get grandad around to decorate our Christmas tree by sneezing snot onto it.

"Bit more on this side, grandad!"
