So have you ever been asked for money by a homeless person? I'm sure all of us have. And we've thought about it, being hesitant, and walk away or stop and give them our spare change or a buck or two. One day I was at the ATM machine getting money out and of course there happens to be a homeless person standing a few feet away. I walk away from the ATM and the diaglog goes :

Him: "Can you help a homeless person?"
Me: "Sorry, don't have any money"
Him: "Didn't you just get some money from the ATM?"
Me: "Well, all I have is a 20."
Him: "Oh, I have change for a 20."
Me: "If you have change, then you don't need any money!"

Can you believe that shiet? Although this dialog is not entirely true, it was just a thought I had after passing up the guy, just because some of these peeps are makin more money than I do in a day! One time I was in Chinatown and there was this homeless person bent over beggin for money. He finally straightened himself out, pulled out a wad of bills and folded up the new bills he just received. WTF!
