On the Usefulness of Comeuppance

Comeuppance is a useful word  
          when confronted by a beggar nerd

        Give him no more than tuppence
          a fitting and proper comeuppance

I'm thinking of that line from a beggar in 'Fiddler on the Roof:' "So, if you had a bad week, why should I suffer?!" I'll give him three pence perhaps... ~ gw
