Sweets

So I was walking home from hospital when I was beckoned to this young man who'd obviously had a little too much to drink, sitting outside the hospital.
He said, "I just parked at ASDA (couple of miles away), my friend dropped me here, and I just visited a mate whose mum's just passed away. I've had a little too much to drink", after a pause, "would you have some spare change to buy some sweets to freshen up?"

So I gave him my packet of fisherman's friends.
