Thread Name: BS: I gave money to a panhandler!
Subject: RE: BS: I gave money to a panhandler!
About 20 odd years ago I was walking down a sidewalk in Ybor City on Christmas day heading for a restaurant when an old, and apparently homeless man, got in front of me and extended his hand without speaking. I looked in my wallet and found only twenties. I thought, what the hell it's Christmas day, so I handed him one. The enormous, toothless grin he flashed at me is forever emblazoned in my memory.
