Servicemembers and puppies, my weak spots

I either gave $5 to a marine who had his wallet stolen or to a con man with incredible radar to know what will get his target to give him money. Probably the latter, but I couldn't in good conscience ignore him totally, which is what I normally do. Because as you know, I am no sucker (except for the time I let the guy with the story about the stolen car into my apartment so he could call a friend. And then he asked me for $50). But yeah, as I repeat this story to Jeff, I was definitely suckered. Oh well.
