That is a cool story. Its great reading about acts of kindness like that. The guy who replaced everything is obviously a great person. I wonder if he knows how to coach a power-play, as ours needs some good ju-ju.

That's a great story...

but why I'm I so cynical to think that this girl just happens to be really really good looking?

If the boyfriend wasn't also there, I would have smelled a rat. But it doesn't sound like any ulterior motives to me. I'd do the same thing too if I had a lot of extra cash. Cool story.

If I had that kind of money, i'd be kind to. Kudo's to the gentleman AND to the lady for recognizing his kindness and taking the time to tell the story.

Karma for the win.

Yep...PFiDC with some Scripture :wink:

Luke 6:38
"Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."

That man is doing it right. Awesome story!

Same here. If I had slopped food all over my $300 Pens sweater, the dude wouldn't have given me a new one. No one would have helped me up, either. :lol:

For every nice person like this there are 100 grown men trying to beat 8 year olds to foul balls. Kudos to him.
