ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER PSYCHOPATH ... AT 7TH AND MONTANA!

                             

An Apparent Psychopath made the scene at 7th and Montana this morning, settling-in at the Condiments Bar as if it were his second home.  "You can't Panhandle around here," he said, glaring at me as I reached for the Half-and-Half.  "You'd better watch yourself or they'll lock you up," he added.  My first thought was, "Perhaps I've taken Casual Friday too far."  Then I realized that he wasn't talking to me.  He was talking to an invisible presence beside me.  "Life's too short," he continued, as I quietly backed away, "Panhandling will only get you into trouble!"  He's right, of course, but something tells me that in his case it might be a bit like the Pan calling the Handle black ...!

I like what Dawn said...hee hee. How true! I took my little boy to SB yesterday and he alone cost over ten bucks as he put away 2 croissants, a donut, and a hot chocolate. He is also well trained on tipping, so add another buck. Lesson learned: Feed the kid before going out the door! --Cin
