actually, i’m sure he threw that away, too, i just didn’t see him do it. he knew my friend, too. we all went to the same church. we offer a free dinner thursdays. he never came. we offer free breakfast once a month. he never came. finally he stopped coming to church altogether. i guess more people saw him throw food away and more people saw him buy tickets.
