It has come to my attention over the years that I have a rare and truly marvelous gift- a kind of Pied-Piper-esque magnetism that draws the destitute and horrific poverty-stricken like a free buffet. It's not arrogant for me to say this at all, I've got anecdotal evidence to prove it. Over the course of my life, a number of events have transpired that have led me to believe I've got some kind of musk that all the street people just can't get enough of.
I have been called Jesus. I have been called Ghandi. I have been called St. Peter. Complete (schizophrenic) strangers have bowed to me in the streets. My personal favorite was being offered money by a homeless man. That was kinda backwards.
New York, 2003: Walking down the streets, not even planning on throwing the poor guy a buck, I'm approached by a shifty-eyed vagabond. The smelly man leans in, looks around to make sure no one else hears it, and whispers-
"I know you. You're the reincarnation of Ghandi. Don't worry about it dude, I won't tell anybody you're here."
Richmond, 2004: Approached by a similar fellow, with a similar story- only this time, I'm informed that I'm St. Peter, in on a routine spying mission to see who's worthy of going to heaven. I think I'll let him in.
New York, 2006: In the train station, about to go home, in the middle of a tourist group (my school) I am calmly sipping a smoothy and talking to a few people I kind of like. I do that a lot. Out of the blue, this disheveled fellow comes up and hands me 20 bucks. 20 dollars, just like that. He says-
"You don't wanna drink that shit, man, you gotta long train ride ahead. You need some absolut, here get some for you and some for your mother."
Hobos love me.

expand, add some absurd juxtaposition with location and resubmit.

I'm down. But if I accidentally touch my mother inappropriately, I'm going to have to blow my brains out. Of course, you know how that turns Ghandi on.

The Jesus encounter just consisted of someone pointing at me and screaming Jesus over and over again, hysterically.
Seemed like overkill

The Jesus encounter was not mentioned.
Why do you hate Jesus?
