Why Do I Always Attract The Crazies - Hey, I Can't Make This Stuff Up!

[Oofty Goofty]

So ... this morning I decided to get an early start mowing my yard to avoid the Texas mid-day heat. Just me in my own little world mowing the yard, minding my own business, not bothering anyone, and wanting nothing more than for no one to bother me.

At 9:00 AM a pick-up truck stops on the side street next to my house, and a young Hispanic man gets out and heads toward me. I figured he was going to ask me if I wanted him to mow my yard, as another crazy did - but no!

He tells me he has a bad hang-over and asks if I can give him some beer! I told him that I don't drink (actually the truth), so I don't have any beer in my house. He then asks me if any of my neighbors might have some beer. I reminded him that it was only 9:00 AM on a Sunday morning and they are all probably still in bed sleeping off their own hang-over. After a minute, and realizing he's getting nowhere, he got back in the truck and left.

I seem to have more than my fair share of this type of encounter.

Get me some beer!

That's bizarre.

blatant enough to canvass for a beer from a stranger...





I live next to a park and have had everything from making 911 calls to a guy asking to use my phone...I ask what for, he replies - You look cool...I'm supposed to be picking up (drug slang for purchasing) in this park and I think my guy is lost

I guess you have that "approachable" kind of face. I get my share too...one guy when I was at a corner store asked if I wanted to buy a telephone from him...he had it in his hand right there.

Out of all the 50 tourists on a bus in Jamaica, one local singles me out and says "Ganj, mon?"

Whenever I go to comedy clubs, I'm usually singled out as the audience volunteer.

You've got a "this dude looks helpful" face I guess...
