    True story #1:
    I once when to a an upscale-ish restaraunt in downtown Detroit for a post graduation dinner with my family. I ordered an amazing kobe steak for dinner but didn't finish it and boxed it up to take home. After the dinner was over I headed to the local dive that me and all my colleagues were meeting up at. As I pulled up and started to get out of my car a bum stalked up to me and began begging for food and money. Being as I was slightly intoxicated and feeling in good spirits I deigned this fellow deserving of my fine leftovers. I gave him a good word and handed over my leftovers. He opened the carry-out box, looked at the generous amount of food, and then looked me square and the eye and said, "That's it? This shit is too rare for me", and tossed the leftovers on the ground.

    True story #2:
    I worked for several years in the heart of Downtown Detroit, very near to Comerica Park and all the other major downtown destinations. The company I worked for had a paid parking lot but being so near the new Rosa Parks bus terminal it got a lot of foot traffic. Occasionally we would have a bum who would come and try to clean our windows. Usually, to get the guy away from me I tossed him some change. Well one day I gave him some change and instead of him doing the whole window cleaning routine he gave me a dog-eyed look, turned around and proceeded to take off at a good trot with barely a thanks to be had. I watched the bum progress down the street and then duck into the corner liquor store. Not but a few minutes later he popped out with a large brown bag.

    Moral of these stories:
    Fuck Bums.
