Scene opens. I am walking down the street. I see my friend Tommy. I have not seen Tommy for sometime. We make small talk and such. After all, it has been a while.
Just then a homeless, toothless man approaches.
Homeless Man: She is so pretty.
Me: Thank you
Homeless Man: You are one very lucky man, Sir.
Tommy and I exchange an ironic glance seeing that Tommy is gay.
Homeless Man: She is so pretty, that is she were a picture I would paint it.
Homeless Man takes my hand and kisses it. Ordinarily I would have been flattered but I have no idea where his mouth has been.
Tommy and I exchange a glance
Homeless Man: I haven't had anything to eat today. Could you spare some change? Any change? I am not buying drugs or anything.
Tommy: Here is fifty cents, it is all the change I have.
Me: Here is seventy five cents.
Homeless Man: Thank you! You are a lucky man to have such a beautiful angel.
Homeless man exits. Tommy and I laugh.
Me: Not buying drugs my ass. I have five dollars. I was not financing his crack habit.
Tommy: Yeah, he's going to buy crack. But he was working it. I will give him that.
Me: I was feeling ugly today. So now I have some self esteem.
Tommy: Well there you go.

Glad I could be a part of this moment! :)
ReplyDeleteYeah it was awesome to have you as a part of this moment. Made me realize how much I miss you. We need to do another ride on the ferris wheel at Toys 'R' Us. What do you say?
