A good friends family wasn't doing well about ten years ago. It was Christmas time,no presents etc. Well he decides at least were going to have a tree. Goes out on State land and cuts a christmas tree down. When he got to the road with there sits a DEC cop. He gets arrested and fined and his name in the paper on Christmas day.

I said "why didn't some money I would have gladly loaned/ gave you some cash" he just shrugged his pride wouldn't let him.
