Hunger In The Lap of Luxury

Walking out of the Apple store in Pasadena on the fabulous Colorado Blvd., in the heart of high society retail, I notice a couple of well dressed guys in their mid twenties seated on the ground. Nice day so I figured they were just enjoying the sights.

I hear one of them say, "Can I have some money? I'm very hungry." I don't know who said it or who he said it too, but I keep on walking. Then I hear, "I can see you don't know anything about being hungry." Then the"Philly" snaps to as I realize I've just been heckled by a bum. A fat joke from a smartly dressed hobo.

I turn around and go right up to the pair and state, "That's the kind of stuff that will get your faces bashed in. After that, hungry won't matter because you won't be able to eat with no teefers." They were all apologies and sorry this and that and we didn't think you were listening. Then one of them says, "You must not be from around here."

Recognize.

I've heard things about Philly.

Heard it is home to the meanest, ugliest, and most angry bunch of people in the entire US. And those were the nice things!

Jeesh, not even a melted milky way for the hungry hobo? Maybe he is generally a nice fella, just suffering from hypoglycemia.
