Wish I could figure out how to paste the picture directly into this box.

I heard a funny story on the radio the other day. I think it was an actual story, but who knows? Anyway, the storyteller passed a homeless man with the usual request for help on a sign and also indicating his support for Obama on his way into a San Francisco restaurant. In the restaurant his waiter was wearing an Obama tie. So when it came time to leave the tip, he told the waiter he was giving it to the homeless guy, who hadn't earned it but needed it more than the waiter, rather than the waiter, who earned it but did not need it so much. The waiter was apparently quite ticked off.

I'd heard that story before I heard it from Wintergreen. So it has been making the rounds.
