Giving Credit

An ad executive in New York was very trusting, but it all worked out okay. Reminds me of an O. Henry story:
Merrie Harris says she didn't have any cash when Jay Valentine asked for some Monday, so she let him use her American Express platinum card instead.

Friends and bystanders told her she'd never see it again. But Valentine soon returned it after buying deodorant, body wash, cigarettes and water for a total of $25.
Lending the homeless your plastic
seems kind of drastic.

But, credit where credit is due,
the panhandler's word was true.
