This past weekend my little brother, Kyle, came to visit. Aside from just wanting to visit his awesome older brother, he and I planned to go to the Vanderbilt Tennessee football game on Saturday.

Friday however, we to this bar in Nashville called the Flying Saucer with our cousin and some of our friends. I figured my little brother might like to experience the huge beer selection that the Flying Saucer has to offer.

As Kyle and I were actually walking into the Flying Saucer a guy came up to us asking for money. He went through his whole spiel about how he just got out of jail that day, he wasn’t really a bad guy, he was really hungry, he just needed to get some food because he was a diabetic, etc.

It’s really dependent on the situation whether I give people on the street money or not. However this guy sold me with his diabetic statement. I just know that it is a big deal for diabetics to keep their blood sugar level up and I’d hate to be responsible for someone slipping into a coma. I just can’t have that on my conscience. So I reached in my wallet and fished out three dollars.

After I gave him a few bucks I fully expected him to be on his way. Oddly enough though, this guy then proceeded to start on another spiel about how he had these things he’s trying to sell. He said he had them before he went to jail but now he was just trying to get rid of them because he didn’t need them anymore blah blah blah.

Fully expecting this guy to try and sell us drugs and/or guns, I was completely surprised when he pulled out roughly 8 porno magazines from the pocket of his hooded sweat shirt. Then trying to further sweeten the deal he proceeded to tell us that all of these magazines also included DVDs. It should be noted that these magazines were still wrapped in plastic and looked like this guy had just stolen them.

Kyle and I couldn’t help but laugh. We were more shocked that this guy was completely serious. We just told him we’d buy some next time and wished him luck with his new business.

Here is a picture of us from that night. Steve (the cousin) is on the left, Kyle is in the middle, and I am obviously on the right. In case you missed the memo, we all have beards because it’s “No Shave November”
