Meanwhile, ] and ] have no plans for Thanksgiving, and decide to help out at a soup kitchen. When they arrive, they are shocked to find ] volunteering there already, and that he is highly regarded as one of the best volunteers on staff. The organizer tells Ted and Robin that they have enough volunteers, but after being vouched for by Barney, they are allowed to help. Soon after, they find out that not all the food received as donations to the soup kitchen is actually distributed to the needy; many volunteers take the better, more expensive donations for themselves. Ted, seeing that this is selfish, begins to distribute rare food items to the needy. Ted, Robin, and Barney are kicked out, and Barney (who was volunteer of the year) becomes upset with Ted; it turns out that Barney volunteered there as mandatory community service after being arrested for public urination on the judge's church. To make it up to him, Ted and Robin agree to go to the strip club, The Lusty Leopard, with Barney, and Ted pays for a homeless man to get a ], which he realizes is the one act of charity he performed on Thanksgiving. Another stripper named Tracy compliments Ted on his generosity, and Future Ted tells his kids "And that's the story of how I met your mother", shocking them before revealing, to their relief, that he is joking. |
