But what did I reference in my title?  "Please sir, can you spare a"

It does have to do with currency.

Can't say that I care.

Yet you keep responding.


FYI, I was referencing the great depression when poor people would walk down the street and ask someone, "Please sir, could you spare a dime.".

So why didn't you respond with "dime"? Should be an easy answer if your response is "DUH".

Wrong. The phrase was ‘Brother, can you spare a dime?’, which inspired the song of the same name. You appear to be mixing it up with a line from ‘Oliver!’ (‘Please, sir...I want some more.’)

If you’re going to have the temerity to ask trivia questions, you should know the answers to them.

I wasn't playing your silly game.

Is that your 2 cents?

Um no, it was a meme in general for it's time.  

I was referencing an old Bugs Bunny cartoon where he promised a penguin to take him to the South Pole, and on the way there during the cartoon, Humphrey Bogart asked him for a break.

Um, no...You're still wrong. And the Bogart line is from 'Treasure Of The Sierra Madre', and has nothing to do with the Great Depression.

Here's a dime:

Sax players soak reeds.  Sometimes in the spit valve release of trumpet players.  There, I said it.
