Was filling my truck with gas and a guy approached asking for and exact amount of money to buy a replacement serpentine belt for his Explorer; he even told me what auto parts store he'd called for pricing. He said if I'd give him my address, he'd mail me a check. Riiiiiiight ... I usually wave off strangers asking for anything but he seemed sincere. I was 90% certain he was scamming me but I thought, "What the heck, I'll play along for now". INSTEAD of giving him money and my address, I offered to go pick up the belt myself and come back and help him install it. He said, "Bless you. That that would be great." I called ahead to the auto parts store with make and model numbers and was back in less than 20 minutes ... Despite his "sincerity", he guy was no where to be found and I really wasn't too surprised. In the end, I felt ok about the whole thing because I knew I made an attempt to help someone who APPEARED to need help but was also aware enough to work it in such a way that I didn't get taken ... other than about 20 minutes of my time. Some of these people should go into show business because they are really good actors.

Jorts? That alone might have made me draw down on him.

What? I don't get it.

Jorts= Jean Shorts. They've kind of out of fashion with...well everyone but Daisy Duke, and she can keep wearing them.
