When you're getting hassled by beggars or bums on the street, always respond
with something that's the complete opposite of what they were asking for.
In other words, if they ask for a cigarette then you respond, 'My watch is
broken, I don't know what time it is' or 'I'm straight man, I only dig women.'
This tends to throw them completely off balance and by the time they recover
you're already in the door or halfway up the street.
