... Namely all the homeless and otherwise strange people that just kind of hang around. It's remarkable the number of oddly shaped, poorly groomed, socially handicapped people one building can attract...
Anyway, I was walking back from the parking lot after lunch when I was accosted by a homeless person who wanted to convert me to Christianity and buy a bus ticket to OKC. This happens all the time and, being that I am already Christian, I only needed to give him a dollar which I did happily. At the same time, however, an elderly couple in an old buick pulled up next to us and the driver rolled down his window to talk to me.
Driver: Excuse me, could you help me find the Stimulus Building? I heard they moved it downtown.
Me: ...What? Like, a City building? The city hall is right over there.
Driver: No, y'see... President Obama signed a bill th'other day, and I'm supposed to go to the Stimulus Building to get money to fix our house.
Homeless guy (to me): ...Is that right?
That's right. The Stimulus Building. To get money from President Obama to fix his house.
I find it hilarious that even the homeless guy knew that a Stimulus Building sounded wrong.
