Your narrative style is that of an expert. Thoroghly enjoyed the story, rather I should say, "Hugely". This tramp...what would you like to call him, Tom, Dick or Harry ?"DICK", I suppose !! Now this Dick chap must have vanished in the dark with a
. What a crude jerk he was!

However, I'm not sure if he even owned a raincoat, Marie Claire ...
Actually, he was dressed kinda like Steve the Tramp in "Dick Tracy". Didn't really look like him, though ...
thankfully. (One of the ten most hideous movie characters ever, btw.)

I was going to ask the question

Not that I want surmise too much about this but one has to wonder why his brain didn't register what was up elsewhere in the body.

Hahahaha Madame...a great story.
Sounds similar to some of my NYC subway experiences. One time I was sitting across a good looking, well-dressed guy probably in his twenties....thing was for the entire fifteen minute ride he was having a conversation with a box of Rice Krispies.

Mademoiselle, a very valid point - ahhh, the assumptions that we make. Regarding your prior comment, while I will of course wait for your mother's sleepwalking story with bated breath, I was actually sort of hoping that you would take up the thread about his not knowing that it was HIS hard on.

Which reminds me ... my mother brought up an excellent point.
She asked me how I knew (for certain) the guy was homeless, seeing as (technically speaking) it's impossible to prove a negative.
"Well, I guess I just assumed." was my reply.

Interestingly enough, my mother has recounted the single oddest "sleepwalking" story I've ever heard. I'll ask her if I'm allowed to share it.

Mademoiselle, It's entirely possible that the pervert was either 1) the subject of a split brain experiment (in which case he might not even know that it is HIS penis with the hard on) OR 2) he was not fully awake (as men will have erections while they sleep that they are not aware of - because they are sleeping.) I know how important it is to you to rule out all possible explanations (scientific method, you know) so I just wanted to help you out here. Samhain_Moon

I suppose that theory is as good as any, Jack ...
Also, I should mention that the guy smelled like
beets. Isn't that odd? Of all the things one might expect a bum to smell like, I can't imagine
beets would be very high on the list.

Mademoiselle,
I can tell you the deal. He just shoplifted a bottle of wine and that's where he hid it when he escaped out the door. He was embarassed because he didn't want you to know that he had a stolen fifth of vino in his pants. Besides that, he was in a hurry to get back down to the mission and share his booty with the boys.
