I stood to smoke a cigarette next to the stairs, before i get down to take the train back home from Oriente station.

A strange guy approached me and asked me for a cigarette.

I gave him one hoping to get rid of him fast, but he asked if he can smoke with me.

I said ok.

He introduced himself as Mr. Tenner.

He was looking really messed up, struggling to speak properly.

I told him I have to go.

He pointed the ceiling and said:

“Would you rather be in a bar sober, or be in a bar broke?”

What the fuck does that mean?

Can anyone tell me?
