I can just see you trying to feed a homeless person some pluot, but he's not really homeless, he's just drunk and resting on a street corner. You start shoving food in his mouth, and he finally gets a chance to say "Dude I'm not homeless, I'm just resting! Stop! Please, someone he...." you shove more food in his mouth and pat his head.

i'll make an offer at this point. when you're 59, any of them that you haven't gotten to yet, that don't obviously require a girl, you let me know (so i can laugh at you! (wait, i mean encourage and aid you)).
