But Sir, WHY is the Puma smoking weed??!!!

5. There will be one guy who approaches you the moment you get to the market, will stick with you the entire time you’re there and then when you’re done, will ask you for money.

Listen. it’s not like I don’t appreciate the fact that you followed me around all day for some reason, but why are you disturbing me? Did I call you?
