As I was crossing 6th street, one of those active beggars was starting a better and better optimized conversation with anybody who would or would not want to listen.
Beggar (to a man whom he seemed to know): "Hello, good evening Sir, I am your favorite Bum!"
British looking guy (walking briskly):Yes, you certainly are.
Beggar: No, I'm not.
Brilliant ... no?... I smiled...
yes :)
