The Analogous Weston (Please read, he is so funny!)

Let me share with you an analogy Weston gave last night.

I'm really hoping this translates through. I could not breath I was laughing so hard.

He was being 100% serious & the conversation at hand was why we buy milk & not soy milk. Weston was trying to convince me that he needs soy milk because it's healthier. I do believe it's healthier, but coming from a boy that eats like a horse & would eat ice cream for every meal if we had it.  That being said, I do not believe it is cost efficient to have soy milk at the house. Weston goes through a gallon of milk in half a week & he's the only milk user we have.  

So, I think I still win with "We can't afford soy milk."

Here's his analogy he used in his argument:

(feel free to add a very persuasive tone and some dramatics, because that was his delivery, making me laugh even harder)

"Would you rather give me an ounce of rat poison or 5 gallons of milk?"

Uhhh...where's the question?

Oh my goodness, I laughed so hard & would pause, trying to interpret & then laugh some more.

We were both crying-laughing so hard. 

Finally, he was able to breathe long enough to explain.

Rat Poison = Milk

Milk = Soy Milk

Yeah, don't you love when the item being symbolized is actually in an analogy as the symbol for something else?

Lost? Yeah, me too.

Since when do rats have opposable thumbs? This picture is anatomically WRONG.

Both are evil apparently.

No really, watch Forks Over Knives & you will really believe it. 

However, then look at our budget & you won't care
