Begging for exact change in Jesus name

Over heard on the corner of North Capitol and First St. NE
Tuesday, December 22, 2009

Background: Two people standing on the corner one appears to be a man and one a woman. As you get closer you realize from the voices they are both women. They both are shady characters. The woman that looks like a man starts talking to this guy who is trying to hail a cab.

Woman that looks like a man: Hello sir
Guy: Hello
Woman who looks like a man: Do you have, I mean Merry Christmas
Guy: Merry Christmas to you too
Woman who looks like a man: Well do you happen to have 73 cents
Guy: No I do not
Woman who looks like a man: Well, will you pray for us anyway

I also have a bailout on my Christmas list

Overheard on a train in the DC Metro on Saturday Night (12/12/09):

Two guys in Santa outfits talking to each other:

"Where are we going to say we're from when the north pole melts?"
"I dunno... Queens or something"

A few minutes later:

Random bystander: "Why are you taking the subway?"
One of the Santas: "Santa didn't get any TARP money and his reindeer
were repossessed"

"Yeah, you can smoke in here. It's legal"
"So wait are we in D.C. or Washington?"
"Welllll, technically they are the same, but we aren't in either one."
