Slow but Entertaining Night
Friday of Mardi Gras weekend I made a tad over $100. My ability to use one-liners was entertaining.
Zealous Xian Young Man: Have you heard about Jesus?
Me: HAHAHAHA! Who the fuck on this planet has not heard about Jesus?

Young Latino woman comes up to me. "Do you ever give away free palm readings?"
Me: I never charge friends or lovers for readings.
Young Latino Gal: That's disgusting!
Me: You never met any of my friends or lovers. How can you say they are disgusting?
Young Latino Gal: You know that's not what I mean!
Me: You think I am coming on to you. But that is not what you said. Be clear what you mean and don't go jumping to conclusions. Your relationships and friendships will last longer.
BTW, that's your free reading.

I was set up right next to Harold, the Lucky Dog vendor. Scruffy looking Black man in his 20's comes up to me. "Would you buy me a hot dog?"
I pretended to contemplate his question, while locking gaze with him. People get uneasy when I stare. I can stare for 10 minutes (or longer) without blinking. He got more and more uncomfortable. He looked away. When he looked back at me, I was still staring. I then answered him. "No." He looked away. Then he left.
I kept staring at the back of his head. About 30 feet away, he looked back over his shoulder at me. When he saw I was still staring, he stumbled. When he got up, he ran from me.
