In order of likelihood
5. Alcoh...nevermind
4. Smoking - my perpetual Lenten sacrifice. Five years strong. Twice I have ended up quitting for nearly a year. Given response #5, doubtful.
3. Lying to homeless people about the contents of my wallet - starting to feel guilty about this one, and I think the ones I always see at the bar are on to me.
2. Eating in between meals - I realize it's probably for vanity purposes, not penance, but summer will be here before I know it.
1. Nothing

I have, at one point, given up everything on the list (for a very short period of time) except number 3. That used to bother me until they started the "homeless man parking service" in Austin. Now I hate them all.
Last week, Derek's "friend" "Tony" asked me for a DRINK OF MY BEER.
I can not even describe the series of sounds/words that came from my mouth in an attempt at a suitable and non-offensive excuse for why not.
I thought about giving something up but realized all my ideas had a HIGH vanity quotient.
PJ - that is not a time to worry about offending someone. Seriously, I think you should take a page from Lindsay Funke and say, "I think you're gross."
Last year, I tried to give up Diet Coke, and it was torture. It's now 3 days past Ash Wednesday and I am too scarred to come up with anything I can handle.
