Hunger Is Binary
(I am sitting on the train waiting for it to depart, when a man I’ve never seen before boards.)
Stranger: “Hello, good morning. How are you doing?”
Me: “Good morning. I am doing fine, thank you. How about yourself?”
Stranger: “Ah, not so good. I haven’t eaten in almost a day. Would you perhaps have a Euro or two to spare?”
Me: “Unfortunately I do not. However, if you’d like I have a sandwich you could have.”
Stranger: “What kind of sandwich?”
Me: “A yes or no sandwich. Yes for hungry, no for not hungry.”
(He just gave me a stupid look for a few seconds until going away to ask the next person if they had money for him. Unfortunately, she had heard the exchange and was too busy laughing.)
