bigchuck, Utah would like this "hook", I saw him last month and one of his stories involved his advice to a panhandler, to develope some kind of a hook, to not just ask for spare change, but to evolve some "medium of exchange"... he then told of a panhandler who approached people with the plan that if they would loan him a dollar...he could tightly wrap it... insert it into his left nostril and pull it back out of his right nostril.... Well, as luck would have it, after a few clumsy attempts, he couldn't complete the trick... and "tried to return the dollar"...
