When a beggar asks me for money, I ask if he will give me a receipt. Yeah, I know, but fair is fair for all. We do give generously to charitable organizations and causes, but I'd be very tempted to give to an individual if I got a good joke or story from it!

I've given to these "Will work for food" or "Please Help - Disabled Vet." Damn... about a month ago I was at the Hospital Emergency room because my mother was having chest pains (she's okay, she had a Stint put in the next day). Anyway, I was outside making a couple of phone calls and this guy comes up to me and asks if I have any money so he can get his prescription filled. I told him "no" and he kept bugging me while I was trying to talk on the phone. I finished my call and called the Police Department. The guy gave me real weird look and walked away. I said "no." How difficult is that to understand? Gheese... |
