A Cruel Joke

So, anyway, I was walking down the street, and this guy stops me. I turn to face hm, and he tells me his name is Jim, and he would like to give me something. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out...

A banana. A banana! Confused, I take the banana, and the man walks on. I cross the street, and start walking again. A little later, another man stops me, and offers me a $10 bill. I thought, "Hey! This is my lucky day!" I accept the money, and pull out the banana, peeling it, for I was beginning to get hungry. I continued walking while snacking on my banana, when this old woman says, "How you holding up? Would you like to spend the night at my house?" Panicking,I run down the street. I mean, this 80 year old just hit on me! I turned the corner, and caught my breath. A waiter from Paco's Diner, an open-air restraunt, called me over just then, and set this huge carne asada burrito on this table next to me. He told me to have a seat and chow down, and that this meal was on the house. He leaves. As I sit, I hear a sort of crunching sound at my back. I turn, and find a piece if cardboard. I realized that my friends had put a sign on my back. It said "homeless".
