will shovel for drugs

[wickedflea]

There's snow everywhere this morning. On the way to the bus stop, I'm walking down Harrison St. toward Fountain St. and I get to the side of the little post office. There's a guy there shoveling snow off the sidewalk and I think, wow--it's nice to be in a place where people are prepared for the weather and take it in stride instead of cowering in their homes and hoping the world doesn't come to an end. As I get near him, I say, "Hey, how ya doin'?" Dude looks at me and says, "yougoddennycrak?"

"I'm sorry, what?" I step past him.

"Yagoddenycrak?"

"WHAT?" I say.

"Do you HAVE any CRACK?"

"HELL NO, I don't have any CRACK!"

That's what I get for being friendly in this town. I'm standing there in the falling snow and some guy is asking me for crack. Do I LOOK like I smoke CRACK? Don't answer that.

So that was the morning's "I ain't in Mississippi no more" moment.

Thats the saddest story I ever heard.
At least he was a motivated crack addict, shoveling snow and such ;)

Yeah, that seems to be the consensus! I was telling people at work about it and none of them could believe it. I was expecting everyone to say, "Aw yeah, that's just New Haven." I mean, I've had a few people on the street ask me if I wanted to BUY drugs (though not in a long time), but I've never had anyone think I was SELLING them.

I suspect he was part of some kind of prison road crew. :)

"HELL NO, I don't have any CRACK!"

>>I pictured you saying that like Stone Cold Steve Austin.

"Now don't make me break out a case of whoop-ass, boy!"

Bwahahaha!!

None for me, thanks. I ate a tube of balloon plastic earlier :-p Remember that stuff? I think they still sell it somewhere.

I smelled that crack crap once and it smelled just like burning plastic. Whodafrick would want to deliberately snarf burning plastic?
