My fellow givers of charity:
Be careful of whom you give money to! If you give a ragged beggar a few bucks, he could easily spend it on a bottle of muscatel.
If you go to an art auction, the merchandise on the block could easily be the work of an academic hack.
Nowadays, it does not pay to take chances.
