Bum On The Train...

It took me a while to figure out if this was crazy,funny,or scary...since i like crazy and i don't scare easily....i'm going with funny ! 
This one is on the Train from East Point , i am seated in the rear car as usual ,less stabbings and more seating back there.. everything is peaceful and normal while the train is at the station,but once the train started moving , this happened.

INT.MARTA TRAIN CAR - DAY

A BUM STANDS UP AND BEGINS TO SPEAK LOUDLY IN A CROWDED TRAIN CAR FILLED PEOPLE

BUM
EXCUSE ME FOLKS! 
(RAISES HIS HANDS IN THE AIR)
I HAVE A REQUEST OF YOU ALL TODAY
I AM HOMELESS AND I ONLY NEED TEN
DOLLARS TO BUY MY WAY INTO THE
SHELTER TONIGHT!!


now mind you the Train is filled with people from different financial and social backgrounds and standings ,however we all shared one thing that the bum didn't..we were all black. i left out the fact that he was white didn't i? Well , he could have been Mexican or something, i couldn't tell ,because of the ten layers of street dirt that had built up on his body. so this is what i hear from the front .....

BACK TO :

TRAIN CAR - CONTINUOUS

A YOUNGER DUDE YELLS OUT FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR

BOY(O.S.)
(ANGRILY)
MAN SIT YO DUMB ASS DOWN!

EVERYONE LAUGHS AT THIS STATEMENT 

The dude goes from person to person being ignored until he reached a young couple ,whom gave him the ten dollars and  some extra money for food...i was thinking that it was such nice gesture by the couple until i saw that dude a couple of days later on a different train ,doing the exact same thing. He was working the East-west line this time and he was hitting up people headed to the Falcon's game...it was hilarious to watch him work...He is now a member of Krackie-Tales
