An ex-friend of mine told a story once of encountering a homeless woman in the street, who asked for money. He didn't give her anything and she let out a stream of cussing at him for a minute straight. He continues on his way and a half-block down the street is another homeless guy asking for change. He tells this guy he'll give him a $20 bill if he goes up to that first woman and punches her in the mouth. And the guy does, and gets paid.
I repeat the story here because it has always stuck with me. I don't know what the various moral implications are. I guess it all kinda evens out in the end. I do know that I never would have done that in a million years.
