You just reminded me of a time Sam and I were in our local McDonald's. Some young bloke came up to us and started with the old sob story of how he needs to get somewhere urgently - I think a hospital entered the narrative at some point - only he didn't have enough for the bus fare and could he please borrow some? Instead of asking how he intended to pay back the money he was 'borrowing', I had a sudden brainwave. We'd been out somewhere on the bus ourselves and we'd bought an all-day bus ticket, which we no langer had any use for, so I offered it to our friend as it was still valid. He took it with all the ill-grace you'd expect of one who simply wanted the money; then a few minutes later we heard him hustling some other poor mug with the same story. It was one of those golden opportunites when everything just aligns perfectly.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
