Why pay Tuesday for a hamburger today

Why? Simply because this is a euphemism for asking for a freebie, a handout or a loan that you never intend to pay. First made famous by the bloated nitwit 'Wimpy', a waddling loser with an eating disorder in Popeye comics, it is a metaphor for the financial irresponsibility that is epidemic in American society today.

You have undoubtedly seen these 'Check Cashing' businesses that have a habit of springing up in the declining parts of town. Well, what these leeches do is give the gullible and irresponsible dregs of our society ADVANCES on their next paycheck, at exorbitant interest rates, skirting the usury laws. Once they get their claws into you, you are doomed. Idiots do this sort of thing in order to support their lotto or cigarette habit.


"I'll gladly pay you Tuesday, for a hamburer today", simply put is spending money before you have it. -or- simply mooching.

The United States Federal Government churns out millions of dollars of military, welfare and other 'hamburgers' that it does not intend to pay for until next Tuesday. In other words, by your grandchildren.

Why pay Tuesday for a hamburger today

A catchphrase coined by Whimpy in the old Popeye cartoons and comics. It was actually "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today"

Basically, someone who uses this or a similar phrase is trying to get something on credit, and may or may not follow through in paying you back.

"Why pay Tuesday for a hamburger today?"
"Because food debt doesn't have interest."

For because why maybe no for why though?

Something you say to confuse a questioning party when they want you to do something you really don't want to do.

Want to go harass old people at the grocery store? For because why maybe no for why though?

Why not ask for help?

Because you can just you can just do what I told you to in relationship to the problem THAT I OUTLINED EXPLICITLY AND NOT THE ONE YOU WANT TO HELP FUCKING "PEOPLE" WITH.

Hym "Why not ask for help? Because you don't actually give help. That isn't a thing I can get from you. All I'm currently getting is bloviating about what 'people' want and I am not fucking 'people' am I? So no. I'm not going to grovel at your feet. You and your entire profession are the worst conceivable people because at least you're kind of allowed to kill the murderers and rapists. And don't say this is 'manipulation' because I don't actually care what you do in response to this. I'm just going to find a kid to kill and kill myself. None of this matters."
