try giving someone who asks you for spare change a penny, or even the number of pennies shown in the photo. stinkeye guaranteed to follow.
Once, in Mexico City, a man asked me for change. Although I’m rarely one to indulge such requests, I handed him the only coin in my pocket. Worth 5/100 of a peso, my American brain interpreted it as a nickel. The recipient threw it on the ground and spit in my direction.
Speakin’ of triple dog dares, I challenge any o’ you bozos to offer the “Nickle and a smile will last a long while” guy near Union Square an actual nickle. The last time I heard of it happening, the police got involved.
What if you offered a nickel instead of a “nickle”?
What if I offered you a shot of what I’m drinking?
I’d pull out any pre ’82′s as they are worth 2.7 cents each.
I like to put things I don’t want on the street, like old clothes & bookshelves & stuff, with the sign “may or may not contain scabies”. Perfectly true, since they don’t, but kind of a kick in the face for someone who wanted that free bookshelf.

You gave me scabies!
UPDATE: We saw the picture above at 10:30 or so on the way to the Summit – then on my way home at around 3:30ish today – this is how the situation had developed…

<3 the Mission!
The pennies have multiplied in the follow-up photo! (Also, there is now a nose on the squid. Looks better sans nose.)
I would take all the pennies. My piggy bank does not discrimate, and those suckers add up.
