    If I had a dollar for every time someone came up to me asking for gas and/or money, I wouldn't have to drive a truck.

    I ward off the lizards by tossing out rolled up, partially wet paper towels out of each window before I hit the rack and ward off the beggers and sellers with a simple F-Off...Both work every time. :cool:

    My dad and I once gave a beggar outside the Greyhound station some Mexican currency that was out of circulation. Bet he was disappointed when he tried to exchange it, lmao.

    About the only place I've ever been bothered was Benton Harbor, MI. Howlin blizzard, cold as yer ex's heart, and ALWAYS something knocking at 0200. I just lay still and it goes away...

    At least your loonies are worth something. Every time Mexico makes changes to its currency the old ones become worthless. These were peso coins from the 1950s. My dad liked to collect foreign currency
