So...I think I'm a pushover...


As if anyone didn't know that about me already, I kinda tend to go the extra mile for anyone. That's just the kind of guy I am. I'm a people pleaser. Anyhoozle, so last night I'm out and walking around town. I went to get some ice cream and there's a homeless dude sitting outside asking for change and this and that. He looked at me with his stained turquoise wool sweater and he put up his sign and flashed me a winning 5 tooth 1 silver tooth smile. It was beautiful. And I said "Hey buddy when I get out, I'll give you my change alright?" He smiled at me and said, and I kid you not this really happened, "Hey how bout you get me a coffee." I look at him like if he was kidding and I was like "That's all you want? Coffee?" and he's like "Yeah, just a coffee brotha. Small with Four Creams..." "Oh and don't forget the little straw" I look at him with this perplexed look as if I was on some camera show. "Wait, so you mean to tell me you want a small coffee with four creams?" "Yeah, and don't forget the suga packets. I gots to have me some suga" I didn't know what to say. It really didn't hit me. Usually, the homeless will just take whatever. This guy was placing an order. So what do i do? I get my ice cream and I give him the coffee. I give the coffee and the cream to him and he goes "Yo where's my little straw?" "Oh this one right here!" and I had smoke come out of my hands and a straw appeared. That wouldn've been awesome. I just don't get it, I don't know why bums are demanding things now. I still gotta find out what happened to my wallet after I gave him his coffee....

"...5 Tooth 1 Silver tooth smile..." Haha classic. That's like the unofficial code of you're a bum.
