Bernie Mac

"You know how to tell if a person's poor? You look in the fridge. If there's nothing in there but bologna, you're talkin' serious poor. Mmmm, but that bologna was good! We used to fry it up till a black circle formed at the edges, then roll it like a hot dog and eat it slow, make it last. ... Lots of beans in our house, too. Pinto beans. Lima beans. Red beans. And cereal. Only you'd be eating it with a fork, leave the milk at the bottom for the next guy. I ain't lyin'," Mac wrote in his 2004 book, "Maybe You Never Cry Again."
