I thank you for your honesty but...

Around a quarter to eight this morning I was walking about a half block from my doctor's office when a woman stopped me. She had been walking in the opposite direction. She was wearing an ankle length purple hooded parka as if it was the dead of winter and style had been conceded to warmth. Our conversation follows:

Woman: Sir, can I ask you a question? Um gonna be really honest with you. Um a alcoholic and um 'bout to drop right here. Kin you give me some money to get a beer?

Me: HUH?

(She waved her hand dismissively and I continued on to my appointment)
