I'm on vacation and there was this guy sitting on the corner with a sign that said,
Why lie-It's for beer.

Honesty is the best policy. I'd give the guy money just for having the balls to admit he wants a beer.

But what if he's an alcoholic?

Doesn't mean he can't have balls, and what is he gonna do, drive?

Meh. I don't have time to think about the ramifications of giving homeless men money for beer.

What if he isn't homeless? Maybe his wife won't give him beer money.

If his wife is trying to exert any kind of control over him then he really needs a beer.

Well, his wife should be changing locks while he's out pretending to be a hobo and tell him to get help.

Not as good as, "Ninjas killed my family, need money for kung-fu lessons"

I'd rather "Pirates pillaged my lands, need money for ship to chase them down"

Or have two hobos next to each other one doing the pirate thing and the other ninja...maybe they could get money for fighting.

The ninja one is far superior. I am, however, in favor of forcingthemto fight eachother.

Apparently, either Wonka gave them a pension, or they had a MUCH better union than the Cylons... :D

OK, we need a poll. How many postrers tried that URL?

And, Markreich, I read that sign in the background as Blood Meat Market the first time. :eek:

there are a lot of guys around here, that are not homeless but panhandle anyway, you have to have a license to do so, and then you still can't do it at places that prohibit it but, yeah. They make money on the corners begging for it.

Ahh that second one is brilliant. What a sense of humour that guy has. Unless it's true. In which case.. Heh, cool way to go about it.
