So on my way into work today, I stopped at a red light next to the usual panhandler. What was unusual was his sign.
"Road Rage? Yell at the homeless guy! $0.50 or best offer."
Heh. It made me want to yell at him "Look you sack of shit, I'm only going to give you $0.25 and you're going to like it!" And then spike a quarter at him.
Okay, not really. But that was certainly a more amusing sign than most. Ones like ""Homeless Vet," "Have Parkinson's, just trying to survive," and "I have no legs" just depress me, and I pass way too many of them to be giving them all something.
So anyways, as a degenerate gambler, I now have a good sign idea for what I'm sure will be my future. However, I think I'd go to an area where I could charge at least $1.00 (obo) for my road rage-venting services.
They are getting more creative these days, aren't they?
The other night I saw a guy with a sign that said "35 cents short of a taco." I was tempted, just to reward him for his creativity.
