Sometimes it happens this way

One morning during rush hour, a guy stands in a street corner, holds a placard that reads:

Most people who passed by, seeing his clean appearance thought (???) he snapped, lost it and gone nuts. Some even dared to tell him “Man, you are crazy!” He shouted back, “No Way!”

Some people took pity on him, others presumed he is hungry, gave him food. He refused and said, “I am not hungry! Can’t you see, I am not begging for food!”

An old woman in faded jeans and shirt came by, offered him money. He took the money but he threw it away and said, “I don’t need your money! I’ve got more than you probably have.”

Seeing what he did with the money that she gave him, she got mad, kicked him and said, “You idiot!” The kick, like a guided missile landed hard on the man’s butt.

When the old woman is about to go away, he called her. The old woman turned to him and screamed, “What now, you *@#!?“

His hands extended, he said, “Thank you ma’m. That’s a good kick. It hurts though but nevertheless, it was great. That was the help I needed. Now, I can go and face my wife! But hey, let me tell you, I am not an idiot.“

“Oh boy you must be moving fast like Superman before my estranged daughter finds out you are here!”, then she left.
