Just thought I'd share.....

I was at Ingram Park in Birmingham yesterday. My group leader asked a homeless-looking man what he knew about the park (it's a civil rights memorial park and he looked pretty old, she figured he'd have been around for it). He pointed out a lot of interesting things and told us some great stories while his female friend stood behind him, twitching and scratching with "I'M ON DRUGS" practically tattooed on her forehead. Well, afterward, he had gathered quite a crowd since another tour group was in the park and they came over to listen. When he was done we all applauded him and some of us gave him some money. Someone had just given me $20 and I still had $10 left, so I decided to pass the blessing, you know? Well, when I held it out to him, he said "Oh, thank you!!" and reached for it...and this twitching, scratching female snatched it out my hand, said "Aha!! This one's mine!!" and took off running.
