A friend of mine often tells the story about an old guy that used to come around his fathers place years ago panhandling. The old guy was kind of a comminuty icon, or whatever you want to call him (think Otis the drunk on Andy Griffith). My buddy said his dad would always offer the guy a similar deal when he asked for 'a few dollars', and he would always take the smaller amount that was offered. My buddy said he asked the old guy years later why he never took the larger amount and he said the same thing. By taking the smaller amount he always got what he needed and nothing more, but if he had taken the larger amount, the 'game' would have been over and he wouldn't have had what he needed when that money was gone, and no more was coming his way. Basically the old guy knew something that many nowdays have forgotten... it never pays to be greedy.
