Talking to trampsI've been in several situations where a drunken tramp has approached and engaged me in conversation. I've discovered that quite often you can play along with their spiel by acting like you know exactly what they are talking about and are actually an old friend of the tramp. You can enquire as to how Mavis is doing, talk about how you did over that bastard who's been bothering him, ask how his arse is baring up after the poodle incident, enquire whether he's had his doritos today etc. and the tramp will play along too. You can almost make it as outlandish as possible and still get a conversation. After five minutes of this I usually walk off quickly with a "catch you around Leonard!" and a cheery wave.
I haven't done this for a few years mind. It's very funny but borders on exploitation of the mentally ill..
