Every time I think life is tough, I realize that some things are easy.
Drumsticks are easy to eat. They have handles for picking them up.
Shrimp have built-in handles too. And spare ribs can only be eaten by hand.
And best of all, French fries have two handles - one at each end.
Who says things are tough?
