People always ask-- when a panhandler requests money from me-- why I always hand them a new stick of lip balm instead of loose ching or a spare bone. The answer is really quite simple;

Have YOU ever drank Lysol over crack and chapped lips?

Suzie Chapstick would be proud that Earl 'The Ladle' Tickledish (lives in the shadow of the Cathedral) and his compatriots have the soft and luscious lippage necessary for their daily inebriation rituals.

Just doing my part and paving my way to the Pearly Gates.
