I once tried to make my belt longer by attaching my watch to it. That was a waist of time.

It’s a phat pun

“I just spent a hundred dollars on a new belt, but I had to throw it away because it didn’t fit. You know, it’s not so much that I spent that much money that bothers me, it’s the huge waste.”

I think it could be improved from that, but that’s the direction I’d take it in. :)
