<b><a href="http://www.overheardinnewyork.com/archives/002424.html">He's So Obviously Some Murderer</a></b><br/> Bag lady: Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, I have not had a meal in four days. If anyone can spare anything I would appreciate it... Guy: Ma'am? Sit down here a second...Ma'am, these people may be fooled into compassion by your story, but I am not. I was out in the desert in Mexico once, just south of the Big Bend, and went eight days without a bite to eat. Out of pure desperation, on the ninth day I attacked a javelina with a sharp rock. I ate half of that pig raw before the thing quit kicking and died... Woman: Good God! Guy: Four days is nothing. If I see you again on the 2nd, and you're up to seven days, I'll take you out for a meal. I've taken up one minute of your time. Pro-rating a six-dollar-an-hour salary, that minute is worth ten cents. That's before taxes of course, but I'm sure your accountant will sort all of that out for you. Good luck. --6 train Overheard by: BC Slais <br/>via <a href="http://www.overheardinnewyork.com/">Overheard in New York</a>, Aug 29, 2005
