Man: Son. Can I ask you something?
Me: Yes.
Man: I've lived in this city all my life, son. A few years back I made it big when I invented one of the first cell phones but my partner at the time screwed me over and took credit for it. I tried to get a lawyer, but he took all my money and I was left bankrupt because I invested so much money in the product and on the lawyer.
Me: Oh.
Man: Son. Look into my eyes. Look into my eyes.
Me: (looking into his eyes).
Man: I don't drink, I don't do drugs. I am just a good man that hasn't gotten a break in life. Do you think you can spare a few bucks?

Although he seemed sincere, I didn't give him money. I was waiting for the PowerPoint presentation.
