Anyway... I've been ripped off a couple of times, but flat out robbed only once.
The year: 1999 location: alley of NYC
This really happened... cross my heart!
This freakin head case sells me an 8-ball. Transaction complete. I put the goods in my pocket. I attempt to hit the road figuring I'd readjust my shit else where. I turn to pass him and the motherfucker is cutting
HIS hand open with a tiny pocket knife!!! He threatens to give me HIV if I don't give him his coke back. I stare for a moment dumbfounded as I rip open the bag in my pocket and fling it at his face trying to be all ninja style... But I missed. It went over his shoulder and landed perfectly on the ground behind him without spilling a drop.
he turns his head and I bolt out of the ally never looking back. I get back on the subway and lick what little coke is on my finger from ripping the bag open. It turns out to be baking soda.
Somewhere... there
must have been someone filming that transaction for some ghetto-style candid camera. There is no other explanation for it.
