Keith, the "$100 hamburger" is kind of a joke. People with fresh
pilots'
licenses tend to make short hops in order to build hours - they typically
fly off to a field within roughly 50 or 100 miles of their home airfield
and have lunch. When you add up the aircraft rental and fuel, you've paid
about $100 (or more) to go get a hamburger. :)

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
by the clean end.
I've heard of $100 hamburgers before, but
never $700 t-shirts. :(
I like fine dining, but I'd never pay $100 for a hamburger. At least not in
the US. Ok, maybe in Japan.
