Transportation of the Homeless

I took some classes at a hospital a few years back. One day I was getting gas across the street when a guy pops up out of nowhere.

"Hey dude, can I have $5?"

"Sorry, I just pumped the last of my cash into my car."

"Well, can I have a ride then?"

I couldn't think of a reason why not, so he loaded his dirty sleeping bag in my car and we drove off and started chatting.

"I just got out of the hospital."

"Why, what was wrong with you?"

"I have hepatitis. They can't cure it so I just left."

"Where do you need to be dropped off?"

"Up here is fine."

We had driven about two blocks.
