> 5. Very few bums and vagrants have good stories but the ones that do are worth their weight in gold.
Many have Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome from alcoholism and will lie about absolutely anything. If you are bored and stuck hanging out with vagrants, you can make up a story that involves you and them, and they will jump right in. Like, "remember, what was it 5 years ago... that we took the trip to Alaska to go moose hunting." They will remember and fill in the details. A very strange disorder from a lack of thiamine. Even though the conversation is complete fiction, they enjoy the story time.
