"george, you're such an asshole for saying that!"

no really, today at lunch with my grandparents, and I realised how lame beggars' excuses were getting!

so we were sitting down, enjoying our meal, when these 2 people walk in- a man and a lady in a wheel chair. they looked pretty clean, and well to do- the man was wearing a long sleeved shirt and long pants, and i think i remembered seeing jewelry on him..but anyways, they went around begging for money, the man was walking from table to table, and begging, while the lady in the wheel chair also wheeled herself around (pretty fast i must add for a person on a wheel chair, and she looked healthy to me) begging from other tables as well.

so anyways, the man came to us, and he said something like:
"Could you please give us some money? Can't you see she's on a wheel chair?"
and he pointed to the woman in the wheelchair.

my dad just said no and shook his head, and the man continued begging..we ignored him and went on with our meal, and soon enough he walked to another table to beg.

Then my dad cracked a joke "my father uses a wheelchair too (which is true, my grandpa needs a wheelchair to get around), so how come he doesn't get money from other people?"

We all laughed :D
