Once upon a - I was in the downtown area when a derelict (they weren't known as
"homeless" back then) hit on me for "jug" money - although he said it was for
food - if he had just told me "I need 50c to make my wine money" I'd have
probably given it to him straight out.

But, I was in a fey mood, so I took him to a nearby cafe and bought him a
blue-plate special and watched him eat it. Sort of being cruel by doing good -
a trick a lot of gummints pull.
