In the loop

There happens to be a few homeless people in the loop. I walk by them before and after work and they all ask me for change. Here are some recent ones that I enjoyed because they stood out:

"My girlfriend and I are homeless. I need change to call her" - Call her where?

"I'm going to Vegas" (holding a cup)
Me- Nice, I've never been there
"It's in the desert"
Me -"You are going East, start walking West...a lot"

"Gimme a hundred dollars" - I give him points for originality

"Say good sir, can I interest you in a boat I am selling" - On the beach

"Some change sir?" - Then pulled out a cell phone and answered it!?

The Purdue bum was by far my favorite. Some days he would ask for a quarter, some days he would just say hello, some days just nod. He was a smart bum because he would ask you one out of every three times you walked by. So it worked for me...once and a while. Probably becuase he would remember people and not ask everytime regardless of the fact that 1000 people walked by him everyday.
