I was waiting outside a building for a ride which did not seem to be forthcoming. A woman was passing and I stopped her.
"Could I bother you for the time?" I asked.
"No," she said and walked on.
Moments later she returned. "What did you say?" she asked.
"I asked for the time," I said.
"Oh," she told me, looking at her watch. "I thought you asked for a dime."
Uhm, okay. And what if I had? I mean what's a DIME???????
Was she afraid that if I asked her and 9,999,999 other people and got those dimes, I'd become a millionaire by begging????
