Hand Out

A ThirdAger is chatting with her next-door neighbor.

"I feel really good today," she says. "I started out this morning with an act of unselfish generosity. I gave a bum five dollars."

"You gave a bum five whole dollars? That seems like a lot. What did your husband say about it?"

"Oh, he thought it was the proper thing to do," the woman says. "He said, 'Thanks.'"
