excuse me ma'am, he said. give me your purse.
i say, excuse me?
he says, give me your purse, ma'am, or i'll poke you?
i say, i'm sorry, what did you say?
he says, i'll poke you! i'll poke you! give me your purse.
i say, oh. of course, my "purse"... here, have my bag.
and i wave him off as he runs off back to the bush.
