Competition on the train

7/27/2011

As I sat down on the train I heard "excuse me ladies and gentlemen, I hate to disturb you..." from the top of the train. At the same time, from the bottom, I heard "I had to bother you but I could really use some help...." I waited to see which one noticed the other beggar on the train.

The one from the bottom of the train heard the other first. Upon realization he cursed.

I wish he would have continued. I had actually seen the other guy begging before. Apparently he hasn't earned enough money to get back to Oregon yet...
