A silver lining to inflation?

I've noticed that my sense of humor turns a bit dark when times get difficult.  Lately, I've hit a period where I am, once again, unemployed as a photographer.  I have enough money to get by, but my lifestyle becomes one of increased and slightly painful frugality. 

If I have one bad food I really enjoy eating, it's got to be french fries.  The larger the order, the better.  Particularly the ones from a place with a yellow M on red background.  Today, I drove up to place an order from the poor menu, aka the dollar menu, and I saw that my favorite item had been moved off the list.  They had raised the price by 30%!  As much as I loved this food item, I simply wasn't going to stretch my budget any further.  So, I passed on the fries.

And that was when my dark humor kicked in.  Inflation's silver lining is helping me stay on my healthier diet!  Instead of dying from clogged arteries, I'll live a bit longer while being tortured over missing my favorite food item.  How funny and how wrong is that?!?
