Actually gave a Panhandler some money

[keithaba]

I usually have a very strict no giving money to beggers policy. Yesterday was an exception.

I come out of a store downtown, and this guy approaches me and says, "Nice shoes you got there."

He proceeds to tell me he will bet me that he can tell exactly where I got the shoes. "I can tell you the city, location, excatly right where you got them shoes."

Entertained, I play along, I have a few bucks in my pocket, so I take the bet.

He proceeds to say, "O.k., I'm going to tell you where you got them shoes."

"YOU GOT DEM SHOES RIGHT DERE ON YOU MUDDERFUCKIN FEET!"

I cracked up! Totally got me, didn't see that coming at all, because he was so calm and talking without the accent.

I gave a few bucks and went on my way, still laughing today.

I'll have to remember that one the next time I'm out begging in Downtown ATL. :huh:

I saw a guy panhandling at a freeway offramp in Ontario last year with a sign. One side said that he was a veteran, not lazy, not crazy, just travelling. Every few seconds he'd flip it over and the other side side said, "I only date homeless chicks. You can drop them off anywhere." :lol:

You young-uns have so much to learn. Now, if a man from Carpinteria ever asks you to buy an oceanfront lot in Nevada, buy it. You can trust him.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Heck, the wife and I are gonna be there this summer for a bit of our vacation. Fly into Nawlins, stay there a few nights, then rent a car, drive east until we hit ocean, drive north to Raleigh, meet a friend for a couple rounds of golf, then back to SoCal. Or maybe we drive north for a while and then head east to Raleigh. No particular plans except for the first three and last couple days of the trip.

Good way to blow a couple weeks, IMHO. Not to mention celebrate a 10 year anniversary. :yahoo:

Just watch out for the street peeps down in the French Quarter. 'Specially the ones that bet you they can tell where you got your shoes. You've been warned.

If you fancy yourself a better-than-good chess player and you come across a guy standing next to a child-molesting van with a chess board set up, plunk down ten bucks to see if you can beat him... Once the game's over and you start to walk away, you're guaranteed to meet the "shoe" guy.
