This dude...

So this one time I was walking down the street with my buddy, and this dude asked me for some change. Being the gracious liar that I am, I quickly said no. Soon I was about to wish that I had given him everything I had. He was a filthy looking fellow, old clothes, poncho, unkempt hair, and fingernails blacker than night. He said it wasn't a problem, but demand a handshake, most likely to show respect to each other. I didn't feel much respect for this chap, he seemed very able in every to have a job, but he seemed to be a drifter instead. Later I was going to learn that he frequented Rainbow Festivals. My friend and I continued on our way to where ever we were going. It may have been 7-11, I'm not really sure. Anyways, when we came back through the same dude was there asking people for change. We were hoping we could avoid him, but he spotted us and came over to chat. He told us all about Rainbow Festival and how great it is, and how everyone should go. I had no idea that these things existed. When we left again, he wanted a hug this time. A hug! This stinky dude wanted a hug. Well, I figured it would be one of those pat on the back hugs, so as much as I didn't want to, I also didn't want to seem like a jerk. I started the pat, and he decided to go for the bear. We parted ways, and I never saw him again. I looked into these so called Rainbow Festivals, and it seems to be a large gathering of hippies who celebrate nature by leaving an enormous pile of garbage in it. Who understands those hippies anyways.
