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.

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.

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