Why won’t anyone take John Curley’s money?

John Curley made a New Year’s resolution to give away $5 to a complete stranger every week, but no one will take it.
He said he tried to give $5 to a fella before heading into Chandler’s Crabhouse Tuesday night.
“Here’s $5,” John told the unsuspecting man.
“For what?” he asked.
“I’m just giving away $5,” John replied.
“No thanks,” he said while walking away.
A very similar experience happened when John tried to give another Abe Lincoln to a woman standing in the parking lot after dinner.
So why won’t anyone take the $5?
John said he’s going to try again Thursday night, but with a different approach. He plans to tell people it’s all part of his resolution. We think that’s cheating.
