Here's what happened to me on the streets of downtown Minneapolis some time ago.

Mista mista
Can I get five dollars
So I can get something to eat
HELL NO MOTHERFUCKA
You can't get no money from me
Cause everytime I give you a dollar
You go get shot up with more and more needles
And you tell me that you're drug free
Drug Free
Mista mista
I haven't ate anything for a week
Can I get a quarter?
HELL NO MOTHERFUCKA
What can a quarter get you?
Nothing motherfucka
You are just fucked up
Off them fucked up drugs
You know you need to leave alone
But you keep telling me that you're drug free
MOTHERFUCKA
You ain't drug free, you're a fiend
And everytime I try to help you
You pretend as if it's okay
Then later on in the week
You go back to shootin' needles, to sniffin'
Oh mf, but you told me you were DRUG FREE
DRUG FREE
You ain't drug free motherfucka
So you damn well, can't get no motherfuckin money from me
Here’s what really happened to me:
I was in Marshall Fields buying two Perry Ellis dress shirts and a bottle of Safari cologne. A man cloying of something other than cologne was harassing the woman employee behind the counter to give him samples of cologne. She gave him one sample, but he wanted more. She wouldn't budge. The man asked me to ask the lady for cologne samples. I said no, you smell of cigarettes and alcohol but not of body odor, you need a mint. Then I walked outside. I was walking down the street. A man asked me for money. He offered to sing to me for money so he could buy clean underwear. I said it never hurts to ask, but I'm turning you down.

I have never smelled Safari cologne. I would like to sample some at your earliest convenience. If possible, we could wear it at the same time and give the surrounding area an overdose of manliness.
I am impressed by the act of asking for money under the pretense of purchasing clean underwear. In your same situation, I would have walked to the downtown target and purchased a single pair of underwear....but for myself. It would have been a good reminder that I needed to change my underwear. People who ask me for money very rarely give me a reason. The most common is for entrance into a shelter or some type of clinic. That seems like a reasonable reason, but i still don't give away money.
