He told me a very long joke and then he told me a Vietnam story. He said he was in the jungle with his best friend and his friend lit a cigarette, he told him not to because the snippers would see him. His friend lit the cigarette anyway and was shot right in the neck. He calls himself old timer and is from Florida. He’s a crab catcher waiting for a job on a boat. He like talking to me so much that he offered to use the money I gave him to put in my parking meter, so I could stay and talk to him. And he’s the only homeless guy so far that was reading a book when I walked up to him.
