Dear bum,
Stop asking me for spare change.
I don’t have spare change. I have change that I’ve yet to spend. If the monetary system collapses and my change ceases to have worth, I will have spare change.
I also don’t have an extra cigarette for you. I don’t have cigarettes for myself. And, if I did, what causes a cigarette to become “extra?”
“Yes, I was planning on smoking exactly six of these cigarettes, yet I have seven. This one is extra. Enjoy.”
Do you hope that a random person walking by just might happen to be quitting and looking to get rid of extra cigarettes?
You give bums a bad name.
Matt
