conversation with a tweaker

this is cut and pasted from an email i wrote to alex the other day:

living in the city makes you tough, but in a good way. it hardens you, but thats real life, ya know?? i never get sick of it. here's the perfect example, a conversation between me and a tweaker lady outside the bank yesterday, as i'm locking up my bike:

tweaker lady: "hey man, can you spare some change? i just need a little money so i can get home. . . "
ken: "this is the BANK. i came here to get money, not give it all away."
tweaker: (pause) "well can i have some when you come out?"
ken: "sure, will $20's be all right? HELL NO, get the hell out of here!"

i don't believe you. you recycled that story from san diego. actually, i think it was from something that i said while i made fun of a bum outside the western union in hillcrest.
