Luxury
Walking into the T station the other day, I passed a man (or possibly a woman). He was wrapped in large dirty winter coat and so still, he resembled a pile of clothes propped up by the escalator. There was an overflowing grocery cart beside him, full of cans and bottle and bags of clothes and stuff.
In one hand was a small bag, the type you get at conferences full of papers and pamflets. It read "Princess House. Luxury Living Made Simple"
I laughed (quietly), went down the escalator and bought the spare change newspaper and gave a dollar to the busker.
But I still laughed. Would you?

Well, I would have contemplated the irony.
Sometimes I feel sorry for these people and sometime I think they bring it on theirself.
How does a cheese sammich stay together when thrown? I always lose the bread.
And I should mention that some peeps would throw cheese sandwiches at them.
No. But only becuase that would mean a big, old swallow of T air.
At minimum, I would have smirked at the irony.
And yeah, I'm disappointed there was no grilled cheese sandwich being thrown.
we having an all request hour - soundtrack to life @ my blog

No, that would be mean. And everyone knows I'm never mean.
You should've blown him up and taken his coat!
Bob *does* need a new coat, I've heard.
*contemplates coatage of various homeless peeps*
I would not laugh, only because your vague description of this particular homeless person matches the vague description of the homeless person who tried to steal my clothes out of the dryer over the summer and I am scared of him.
*Runs away from the scary post*
I woulda, I don't know but I like that you did a nice thing. When I was in LA (downtown) I didn't leave the hotel without cigs and change and gave whichever to whomever asked. I'm nice like that. What would you peeps like 'cause I'll give it to you!
