Gotta Love the Inquisitive Homeless

inquisitive-homeless.jpgIt may be shallow, but I try to avoid the homeless at all costs. Part of it is because I don't feel like giving them cash is really going to make a huge difference in their lives, but mostly because of the smell. While killing a little time this morning (I enjoyed the AT&T WiFi at Coffee Bean for a few hours, but realized Borders had better seating and more convenient access to a power outlet), a homeless woman sat next to me. Her shirt was a little more transparent than it needed to be (although the large guy from Australia sitting across from her doesn't seem to mind that there is no bra hiding her nipples) but she didn't smell any more than the average cab driver. She got some books out and decided to take some notes from them, giggling as she got to a particularly humurous portion. And what made her laugh so much? Ancient Egypt and The Complete Idiot's Guide to The Bible. I guess it's true what they say: 1st Corinthians really brings down the house.

A homeless guy came up to me last week in Dallas. He told me this really sad story about needing to get home to New Orleans. He said he was $10 short for a bus ticket. I started to reach in my purse, and my mom started yelling at me about giving him money. She said we should buy him some food. I told her the bus ticket story, and gave him a $20. He thanked me and walked in the opposite direction of the bus station. So... I'm pretty sure I bought him some crack that day. He smelled exactly like bacon grease.
