Quote #242

BUM: Say, mister, can you spare a dollar?

CRACKERS: I can easily spare the sum you name, but it seems to me
that most beggars would customarily suggest a more modest
amount, such as a nickel.

BUM: I guess they would, at that; but I am ambitious, and mean
to rise in my chosen calling.

-- Horatio Alligator, "Admiral Boniface's
Parrot" (in _American Pie_)
