Especially if your comedy routine is hitting home somehow. I once saw a brother out there in the subway playing the flute and had to give him a buck just for the uniqueness of his choice of instrument. Black man playing a flute is not something you see that often. More like once every 5 years.....;) Yeah, making me laugh would get you a buck.

I'd agree with dude. I may be homeless but who wants to deal with odor that onions produce? Then he'll ask for mouth wash, a toothbrush and tooth paste. <strong>Fitness Diva:</strong> I see your point. But what about the folk that perform a comedy routine, sing a song, or do a dance? Isn't that entertainment worth a dollar along with the laugh? <strong>Sharon:</strong> And to think they are getting all that money tax free... I cannot knock you for paying the toll after crossing the bridge. Crazy? For that? Nah... unique is a better word. <strong>Eb:</strong> Don't know... I'll have to ask a broke person. But I hear you.

I will exchange some of the change for a homeless person to dollars. I'm always surprised at how much some of them make. I have brought food before for someone from McDonalds he didn't complain so I guess he likes McDonalds. And I know this is crazy but I am scared of heights and if for some reason I have to walk across a bridge . . .when I get to the other side I give a dollar to the first homeless person I see. It's my way of being thankful I survived. Yes, I am crazy. I work at the bank and sometimes when I feel like being nice. I will exchange some of the change for a homeless person to dollars.

Or people with one leg or some ish like that. Or a sista that obviously has had a bad damn turn in life and is out on the street trying to survive. I have lived in a neighborhood of immigrants, and if people that can't speak English can come here and hustle and MAKE it (selling oranges, flowers, cut up fruit, WHATEVER) then you can too. I'm a real hard ass when it comes to beggars. Don't come shakin' no cup around ME...lol Homeboy did have some nerve being selective, though... I only give to Vets.

I remember giving this guy food on the train and he wouldn't take it because it had onions in it. I understand preference, but when you are hungry, it really doesn't matter.
