As broke
as piecrust

at AS BROKE AS PIECRUST - Poor, without money. My husband heard this
on a National Public Radio program (October 2002) about rhythm and blues musicians
in the 1940s in Los Angeles. "We were as broke as piecrust." Piecrust is very
delicate and crumbles easily.
I'm adding this to my collection:
Too broke
to spend the night.
Too poor to pay attention.
