Меня не устают поражать монреальские бомжи. На выходе из метро, около полудня, достаточно прилично одетая женщина:

- Excuse me, sir, do you speak French or English?
- English's better.
- It is terribly awkward for me to bother you at this time of day with such a strange question...
- Yes?
- You wouldn't have two quarters to spare, would you?
- Eh...
- The thing is, it's afternoon already BUT I HAVN'T HAD MY MORNING COFEE YET.
- (impressed, hand her two coins)
- Thank you so much, I will finally go on with my routine. That would be enough, there is a cofee sale at McDonalds.

Save for the last remark, the phrase in the subj. almost seemed appropriate for a moment.
