A panhandler who was new to the business asked the advice of an old pro who has worked the streets for years. After hours of intensive training the old pro was ready to send the tenderfoot out. “Don’t forget what I taught you, Frank,” Bob told him.
They walked to the corner of a busy street. “Go get ’em, Frankie boy. Here comes a guy who looks like he’s got some dough.”

Frank walks up to the man and immediately starts his routine. “Hey man, got a quarter for a cup of coffee?”
“No.”
“How about a dollar for a Mickey D’s? C’mon man, I’m hungry!”
“I said no!”
“Then how about letting me use your credit card for some clothes??”
“Are you kidding me?”
“Can I borrow your car to visit my sick mama?”
“Get lost!
“Then just let me stay at your house until I get back on my feet.”
“I’m calling 911!”
Dejected, Frank walks back over to Bob and asked him what he did wrong. “You violated the number one rule of begging,” Bob told him.
“What’s that?”
“Don’t put all your begs in one ask-it!”

Murphy finally gives up sitting down on the ground and he tells Paddy to go on without him. Paddy protests but gets nowhere so he walks on without his friend only to return screaming Murphy, Murphy come quickly you wont believe your eyes and tells Murphy of a fantastical tree he has just found with a bacon butty on every branch.
