Rogers Park Conversation Openers

As I walk down the mean streets of the 49th Ward, these are top ten opening lines that I most often hear from friendly strangers trying to start a conversation:

1. 'Scuse me, I don't mean you no harm...
2. Hey big guy, you got another cigarette?
3. Hey buddy. Hey, buddy!
4. Any spare change?
5. Hey big guy, you got a extra cigarette?
6. You straight? Need anything?
7. You got fitty cent?
8. You got 23 cent?
9. Got a transfer you don't need?
10. You a cop?
