Paid Service

Curbside peddlers and transients I do not fully trust.  

I wonder if money donated will be used for good, like a decent two dollar meal; or, if the money will go towards drugs, alcohol or even pornography.  For the latter reason, I no longer hand out money.  But I feel bad.  

The solution: When approached for money, I request the individual perform a five minute dance routine or magic trick.  Now, I am paying for a service.  

Any money earned is no longer a concern of mine and I've taught someone a very important lesson.

You'd better get ready for your visit to Beantown, my friend. You're gonna get stopped on every corner for 'spare change'.

They always hit me up especially around Fenway Park.
