Effects of Homelessness

Me: "So, did anyone do anything for spring break that was fun and that they would like to share?"
Student:  "I got spit on by a homeless man."
(silence)
Me:  "I'm sorry...I'm going to need more information than that."
Student:  "My family and I were in Pittsburg and a homeless man asked for $5 for a sandwich.  I only had $3, but gave it to him.  I walked away.  He called me back and spat on my face."
(silence)
Me:  "That is vile.  Did you shower six times after that?"
Student:  "Yes, I used two bars of soap just to wash my face."
