It was your impressive front and backpack that drew me

Recently at the library, I was looking for a book in the open stacks reference section and one of our regular homeless patrons who wears a huge backpack was standing right next to the section that had the book I was looking for. As I slowly sidled up to him, he says (without looking at me), "Not in a million years." I guess he thought I was trying to hit on him. My ego was crushed being rejected by a transient!
