Extremely Poor

Okay, so listen up, buttercup. This "joke" is saying someone is so broke they gotta wash paper plates (which are meant to be tossed, duh) and use a kids' dishwasher (which is, like, super tiny and inefficient). It's supposed to highlight extreme poverty. You wouldn't understand anyway, because let's be honest, you probably think dishwashers are for storing your Beanie Baby collection.
