What da fishes "answered with a grin" after Humpty Dumpty sternly warned them dat "it will be better to obey" his request dat they send him some of their primest specimens for his dinner-table, rather than his having to grumblingly continue with da disgusting bean-curd crap dat he was presently being obliged to gag down because he wasn't having any luck catching fish to eat.
Perhaps after Humpty Dumpty received da fishes' amused "Why, what a TEMPEH you are in!" response and thus failed at getting any tasty omega-oils-rich fillets to fry up, he instead began resorting to starchy white underground tubers for his sauteed sustenance, and dat's how "Da Great H. D." snacks company was founded.

Get the Why, what a TEMPEH you are in! mug.Telling a junk-food junkie that "There's a worldwide shortage of chocolate" or "Potato-chip companies are scrambling to keep up with demand" may indeed sometimes prompt said unwise indulgers to temporarily cut back on their intake of said empty-calorie-laden comestibles, but once they find out about the bogusness of said "scarecity", they'll likely just go right back to gluttonously stuffing their faces with sugary/salty crap!

Two of the most common instances when one might make a clompromise are:
(1) Where someone wants a ride somewhere, but you feel that said individual either needs to become more accustomed to "not always living the soft life" or could stand to "lose a few", but you also realize that his having to whiningly/wheezingly traipse all the way to his destination alone might be overly upsetting/discouraging to him, and so you offer to stroll along wif him to where he's going, to keep him company. It's not unlike teenage friends' offering to scuttle around the yard wif one of their classmates who's having to rake leaves or cut grass, or several ladies' exercising together for emotional support and to keep each others' spirits up.
(2) Where you either feel that an errand is not important/urgent enough (or involves transporting objects with enough weight that you could not simply carry them with reasonable ease) to use costly gas for, or you cannot be at all sure if whatever you're going for is even going to "pan out", and so you're making a pre-road-trip walk to personally check out the actual conditions/circumstances at your intended destination before you commit to moving 2 tons of steel and glass all the way over there.
