I've actually skipped work just to help a homeless guy get his beard trimmed. Bought him pizza too. Kinda hard to get anywhere in life when you look like shit.

Be kind to the homeless, they just need a helping hand here and there.

What would you do?

Honestly, I didn't let the fella in either. But I did bring my hair clippers out on the back porch, and made a point to trim both his beard and his head down short.

I'm not a barber either, but hell, there's a huge difference between looking scraggly versus looking somewhat tidy. I did my best with the clippers, and the fella was very happy with it.

Then I went and bought us some pizza and a couple of beers. Why beer? Because I'm generous sometimes, plus beer is cheaper than water in my area.
