While changing a flat tire at 2am in a 'not very nice' part of downtown Trenton as I'm getting spare from under car, four separate cars stop and ask:
Each guy: "Yo, is that nigga dead?"
My gf in the car: "No we have a flat tire. Do you have a jack?"
Each guy: "Nah." (and drive away)

Open Air Career Counseling
Homeless Man addresses a very dignified pinstriped suited, silk-tied, wingtipped silver-haired executive type:
Homeless Man: "Great shoes and socks, man."
Executive: (surprised, laughs) "Thank you."
Homeless Man: (very serious) "Take 'em off. I want them."
Executive: (going along with the joke) "You mean just take them off right here - on the street? Shoes AND socks?"
Homeless Man: (very serious) "Yes. They belong to me now. They ain't yours no more."
Executive: (startled, tries to laugh it off) "If I take off my shoes and socks, how can I go to my office in my bare feet?"
Homeless Man: (thinks) "What do you do?"
Executive: (laughs again, but nervous) "I'm a VP in banking."
Homeless Man: (thoughtful) "You can't back to work then, never again. You gotta quit your job. You'll like goin' barefoot - you'll get used to it real fast. Maybe grow a beard. Now step outa those fancy shoes. I ain't got all day....."
The executive starts to walk away quickly...
Homeless Man:..."And I know somebody who'll buy that suit and tie off you, too."
