"I SAY THAT CHEESE BURGERS SHOULD COST MORE THAN GOLD!" -facepalm-

I was buying cheese burgers and was walking past a jewellery shop. Then I thought about someone robbing me of money (y'know, the standard "money or your life" gag) and I hugged the cheese burger tighter. Then it came to me...

Me: I think cheese burgers should cost more than gold. Why do people even want to buy gold anyway? It's useless. It just sits around there--not fluffy or cute--and sparkles. While the cheese burger can sustain life, the gold just sits there doing nothing. Why do people think that gold should cost a lot?

Sis: Well, people like gold. And besides, it's a rare metal that needs to be dug up from the ground.

Me: But it doesn't do anything! And it's pretty much useless. Why do people even bother digging them up? Shouldn't cheese burger be of a higher value? Why are they so cheap? I'm not complaining, of course, just... isn't it weird?

Sis: Well, if you put it that way, most humans are weird. Perhaps it's because it's very rare and pretty, can be used for decorative purposes? Besides, people have already set the standards. Gold is worth a lot of money, even if it just sits there and do nothing.

Me: ... Still, if we're actually talking about decorative art or something like that, a few twigs and leaves can do the trick, right? Why do they want something that... that...is completely useless? The cheese burger can sustain human lives!

Sis: Still, gold is bright coloured and it's prettier. Look at carvings on gold--don't they look exquisite and intricate? Whereas twigs are of a darker shade of brown, hence it's much more difficult to spot the patterns--if you ever did carve into them. That's why gold is much more favoured.

Me: ... But gold is useless. And it causes war and trouble. It causes greed. Whereas the cheese burger makes people happy!

Sis: But after you eat it, it's gone, isn't it? Look at a cheese burger and gold. The cheese burger will rot soon, while the gold can last a long time.

Me: Then, talking in rarity, the cheese burger wins!

Sis : ... -facepalm-

Aaaaand, the winner is...

CHEESE BURGER!

TEAM CHEESE BURGER, WHOO! :D

... we ate it anyway.
