When I was in LA, outside the public library, a guy gave me a song and dance about being a student, his car being out of gas somewhere...etc and so on. He did have a pile of books but didn't look much like a student. I gave him 5 bucks, saying "Not sure about your story but I sure liked your approach." He just seemed very personable, and I was feeling very generous.
