The dude should then deeply sigh, grimace, apologize, say he forgot his wallet at home, and ask his date if she could pay.  After she does, he should tell her that he&#8217;s worried about identity theft so he needs to go home to find his wallet and he&#8217;ll call her later.  When he gets home, he should call his date, tell her that he found his wallet, and then say he never wants to see her again because she is ugly and needs better personal hygiene, like flossing better or not putting on perfume that makes her smell like old fart.<\/p>\n<p>(Tip #3: Get a new phone number after doing this.  Actually, get a new phone number, move to a new city, and grow\/shave off facial hair, because hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.)<\/p>\n<p>The attack on her self-consciousness will help her forget she just spent $100 on him and the only payment he&#8217;ll have to make is guilt, which goes away with a lot of alcohol.<\/p>\n<p>(Tip #4: This freeloading has no gender bias.  Women can also use these techniques on men.)<\/p>\n<p>The Carl&#8217;s Jr. Charbroiled Steak Sandwich is probably the next cheapest way to get a steak dinner on a date.  It&#8217;s significantly more compassionate than the best way, but it&#8217;s also significantly less tasty because it&#8217;s quite unexciting.  The sandwich is made up of a 100% sirloin steak, topped with breaded onion rings, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise in a toasted roll.  <\/p>\n<p>The steak that comes with it is an actual piece of steak and not any of that ground Angus stuff that Burger King tries to push as a steak in their Steakhouse burgers.  The steak was a little tough and didn&#8217;t really taste like steak, instead I thought it tasted more like pork chops.  Being that there&#8217;s an actual piece of steak and the onion rings hardly added any flavor to it, I was hoping Carl&#8217;s Jr. would&#8217;ve added a steak sauce to it, like A1 Steak Sauce, Heinz 57, or maybe Worcestershire sauce.<\/p>\n<p>The Carl&#8217;s Jr. Charbroiled Steak Sandwich is hearty like an steak, but unfortunately its flavor doesn&#8217;t match.  It maybe a cheap way to get a steak dinner on date night, but I wouldn&#8217;t try it because hell hath no fury like a woman who is expecting a real steak dinner. <\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 1 sandwich &#8211; 700 calories, 38 grams of fat, 8 grams of saturated fat, 85 milligrams of cholesterol, 1080 milligrams of sodium, 58 grams of carbohydrates, 7 grams of sugar, 3 grams of dietary fiber, 32 grams of protein, and 0 grams of self-consciousness destruction.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><small>(Editor&#8217;s Note:  See the Carl&#8217;s Jr. commercial for their Charbroiled Steak Sandwich below.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><center><object width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/hcqw2xjWjIk&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0\"\/><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"\/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"\/><\/object><\/center><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Carl&#8217;s Jr. Charbroiled Steak Sandwich<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $5.99 (sandwich only &#8211; $4.69 in the rest of the country)<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  Carl&#8217;s Jr.<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  5 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Hearty sandwich.
