i used to know a guy who would always ask me if i had any cigarettes i could give him. i don't smoke so i always said no. he would then inform me that it didn't matter as he would pick up some tab ends off the street.

that was over 10 years ago but i hear he's still going through the same routine with passing strangers.

maybe he's got a franchise going on or a brother in london with the same make-do attitude.
