Life in the Fenway

So on my way out of Bradley Liquors this guy in a Red Sox cap comes up saying, "Mi amor, tiene una peseta, necesito una peseta, una peseta, ¿me puede ayudar?"

"¿Qué quiere, un dólar?" I say, getting one out of my billfold and handing it to him as I get into my Jeep. I see he has maybe $2 in coins in his hand as he takes it and thanks me.

"¿Un beso, un beso?" he pleads.

"Naw, ¡eso no!" I chuckled.

I shut my door and watched him go into Bradley's, content that I had helped a brother out in his hour of need.
