Subject: RE: BS: Unheralded Acts of love and Kindness
Well, I don't mind tooting my own horn. A few hours ago I was driving my old 4X4 pickup down Main Street. The shops and sidewalks were crowded with shoppers spending spending spending. Stopping for pedestrians, I noticed a group of five or six skinheads panhandling for spare change. They were poorly dressed against the falling wet snow and looked like they had little to be thankful for in this season of joy and goodwill. Also, I noticed that nobody was giving them anything and some passersby wouldn't even make eye contact with them. Perhaps it's just because of the Christmas spirit but I don't know what came over me - I just had to do something for these poor, misguided youths. So, I decided not to run them over and went merrily on my way. Merry Ho Ho.
