D. H. Lawrence
A city gent is walking out of a tube station when a beggar accosts him and asks him for money for some food. The city gent replies:
“Neither a lender nor a borrower be
- William Shakespeare” and walks off.
A few days later the beggar is wandering down a country lane when he sees the same city gent with the hood of his Rolls Royce up. The city gent says:
“I say! Could you give me a push to the nearest garage?”
to which the beggar replies
“Fuck off ! - D. H. Lawrence.” and walks off.
