My story
About ten years back, I was in Birmingham, Alabama for a doctor's appointment. Afterwards, we went to an Arby's and got a roast beef sandwich. As we took the food to the table I noticed a bum at a table counting his money. He had pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters, obviously not enough to buy anything at Arby's.
I made a quick decision, walked over and placed a ten dollar bill on the table in front of him. I walked away from him without saying anything.
He looked at the $10.00 bill or a minute and then in one swoop, wiped up his money. Into his pocket it went and he got up and walked out of Arby's and through a light rain into the liquor store next door.
I laughed and told my wife, "I just bought Jesus a bottle of cheap wine!"
It was well worth it. Over the years I have received $10,000.00 worth of pleasure remembering that rainy afternoon.

At a red light near Savannah, GA (a group of us were on the way to St. Paddy's Day) there was a bum holding a sign that said something along the lines of "I'm not going to lie, I want money for booze". Between all the people in the car we probably gave him $40-$50.
