“Hey Buddy, spare a dime?”
“A dime?”
“You know what I mean. A sawbuck. The dime thing…it’s a saying.”
“Why don’t you say what you mean. Nobody says what they mean anymore.”
“Fine. I mean, it’s Christmas. Can you spare ten bucks?”
“That’s an interesting proposition. On the one hand, I can spare a tenner. On the other hand, I may be seconds from economic collapse. The ten spot I give you I might need back. Would you return it if I asked?”
“What the…tarnation. If you give it to me, I’ll spend it.”
“Good point. Better catch me later.”
