Reflections on Humanity, Economics, and Whores

While I appreciate honesty on the part of people who ask something of me, I do not think "Why lie, I need beer" or "Need cash for weed" merit my donation. Sorry, I can't support your bad habit. Unless...

This guy went for the unexpected. He also got points for politeness ("please"). I gave him a dollar for the privilege of taking his photo. Later I pondered that if he got someone to donate the full amount, he would have to sacrifice on quality in one of the two items he is requesting. (If I'm wrong about that, I would be interested in further information.)
