Can someone please tell me how this ends?
Are they trying to bait you into saying your from out of town?
Trying to get a buck off you?
Trying to sell you drugs?

By NO means did I look like I was from out of town, I looked like a total local. WTF?
I'm still perplexed about this one!

Here ya go...if ur say on Bourbon st and they come up and ask.."Say i bet i can tell you were you got your shoes for 10$"..and you being the tourist want to see if this guy is a psychic you say.." Ok tell me where".... he looks at you and says " On Bourbon St...now give me my ten dollars" get it?
