The homeless intellectual who hangs at my Startbucks is f*cking with me...
He's reading the paper wearing magnfiers that still have the large tag on them dangling right over his nose, covering it. There's no way he can not know this. I usually say hi to him but I just can't today.

2. You mean



... he took the magnifiers off the reading glasses (for sale) shelf to use while he's there, and then he's going to put them back?


Eww, that's kind of gross.

3. My Starbucks doesnt sell glasses. He came in wearing glasses
with a big label dangling in front of his nose. He sat down and started reading the paper. There was no way he could read comfortably. Still he sat and read paper for about thirty minutes. Its amazing, this guy knows all about sailing and navigation. He has an ex wife and a kid. Totally cool guy exceopt for random whackiness. What a world.

4. Oh.



For some reason I was thinking of the Starbucks in the Barnes and Noble book stores, where they sell reading glasses, too.


Well that does make it even weirder.

5. Probably a manifestation of one of the reasons he's homeless.
Not quite all with it, so to speak, in the sanity realm.

I used to see all sorts of weird stuff from what were otherwise normal people, whether the psychologically unbalanced homeless, or the psychologically unbalanced intellectuals.

10. It's so funny
The language the OP uses. (nothing mean towards the homeless)

But I can just picture the OP thinking this in their head and it makes me laugh. Don't know why.
