I was standing on the station platform the other day waiting to go home when a homeless guy, a tramp if you will, walks up to me and asks for some spare change for a cup of tea. I pull some change out of my pocket and place it in his, quite frankly, filthy hands. Now, being a well-mannered being myself, I expect a LITTLE gratitude when it comes to HANDING OUT FREEBIES but no, the guy didn't even say thanks. He just walked off looking quite disappointed.

Laughing to myself some milliseconds later, the tramp then comes BACK up to me to ask if I have any cigs! I couldn't believe it, not only did he not say thanks for me giving him FREE MONEY but then he tries to take advatage of my own goodwill. Needless to say, I said no leaving him to go on his sad, albeit smelly, way.

The moral is: think before you give your hard earned cash to a bum.







For the record, the money I gave him was 40p.

Why? It'll onyl go towards drugs or alochol. Buy them a cup of tea instead. Least you know they won't be trying to inject it into themselves....well..

Think yourself lucky. When I was in Miami, we were sitting in a streetside cafe. This HUGE Rasputin looking guy came shambling along the street, in what looked like priests robes, filthy feet and wild hair. He was about 6 and a half foot tall and talking in a raised voice to himself.

"ciggarrretettte" he slurred to me, hand shoved in front of my face.

I gave him a tab.......

"lighhhhtttt" he slurred again.

I gave him my lighter, he stole it, and them shambled off.
