When I worked for Chrysler in the 1990’s one of my friends went to Vegas and a beggar asked him for money. My friend Dan then went into a spiel about the government having a safety net for people like you. The guy just stared dumbfounded at Dan. It was always one of Dan’s shticks to use when we were having conversations of who was going to buy coffee for the day. We always got a good laugh out of it in the Good Old days, so to speak.
“I don’t have any money. All I have is this wedding ring”
They usually laugh and move on.
