A tramp may go to prison and be grateful for a bed and a meal. But if you re used to expense-account dinners and the bill is just irrelevant you don t even look at the cost of the wine to be picking the meat from the undercarriage of a chicken carcass, eating sewer trout or chewing a burger made entirely of gristle is a big comedown.
