Voice of Free Planet X, Episode 103: Can I Ask You A Question?
A panhandler came up to me the other day and said “Can I ask you a question?”
I answered no, he couldn’t ask me a question. I knew what the question was, and I didn’t want him to ask it. So I told him that he couldn’t ask me a question.
Faced with a “no,” he then proceeded to threaten my life.
When it was all over, I did what anyone else would have done in such a situation:
I picked up the phone, and called Alison Buck, my sociologist.
Special thanks to the men and women who shared their experiences with panhandlers.
The Voice of Free Planet X theme was written and performed by Russell Collins of www.clockworkaudio.net.
