I was told once by someone into anointing that it was necessary to bless and anoint the feet because they carry us into sin. I replied that mine needed a whole barrel full of the stuff because they had carried me into more than my fair share.

Dirty Money
Money has done an excellent job of standing off a ways from me without encouragement. I do remember the night ,though, that I won a thousand dollars in poker, much of it in silver dollars and American gold pieces.
Clean!
I had a friend in Greenwich Village who employed an effective method for handling hecklers.
Needle
It was meant to be a joke present.
Charlie
My most memorable gift stands right behind me as I write. In 1962 My parents gifted me with my Harmony guitar.

So, since August, I'll have these waking periods while it's still dark. Then, unable to get back to sleep, I'll slip into my office, pick up my old guitar and start practicing.
Saint Louie Tickle
Being a bit brazen paid off in the Village. Performers cultivated idiosyncrasies to distinguish themselves from all the Dylan, Peter Paul, and Mary, or Joan Baez wannabees walking down Bleeker or McDougal at any given time. There were blue Chambray shirts and jeans for the Dylanesque and black turtlenecks and jeans for those more closely allied with the Beats in the neighborhood.

It wasn't Madrid. And it wasn't the Restaurante Terete
The Great Turkey Piñata
Over the years, I've seen some funny stuff done to Thanksgiving turkeys. Big birds with extra legs "grafted" on, toy aliens breaking through the breasts of the turkey, and birds with potent marijuana rubs. Delivered to the table for carving, these holiday turkeys distract from anything that might have been done to side dishes.

"if you don't want to do time, don't do the crime." This was the advice given to street punks in New York City when I was growing up.
