But they still manage to get by..
I think the best sign I ever saw a destitute person carry was: "Screw work, I need a beer." I was so impressed at his honesty I stopped at the next liquor store and bought him one.
When I lived in Cali there were tons of them and I tended to give to the honest or extremely funny ones too...some of them ( a small percentage ) make alot of money doing it...one couple I met made 400 dollars a day in their three regular locations and had regular customers ( yeh...they called them...customers ) but that's a rarity...the ones I couldn't stand were the baby renters...the ones that bring their babies or rented babies out with them.
But most of my donations went to the street artists.
$400 a day?? o.o my dad got paid that much a week (after deducting taxes) since he didn't go to college. I'm gonna become homeless then :P or pretend to.
Yah...amazing isn't it...I didn't believe them at first until they pulled out the cash...and it made sense because the places they said they go to were high-end financial centres and they dressed kinda clean...but they were the rarities. Apparently they weren't too stupid either...they cashed the change regularly into bills and hid it in a pocket they sewed into the inside thigh of the girl's pants..and they hit each area during their high traffic times....they called it their job, not panhandling. :rolleyes: They had a plan!

I would start talking to they guy about a local dojo down the street i belond to. "If we go into together you'll get a discount"
where the hell can you rent a baby ... are you serious
unhappy - you'd be amazed what a crackhead will do for their fix. Renting out their babies is only the tip of the iceberg.

They rent them from other welfare mothers ( their friends and give them a cut of the proceeds )...they pay to use their kids.
l3lacklce is quite right...you'd be surprised what some people will do.
since we are already on a subject ... anyone has any good crackhead stories
i will start. well it's not really a story but there's a guy on 34th St. between 7th and 8th avenue (Manhattan, NY) that jerks off on the sidewalk. He does this daily. I worked close by and had to pass by that street almost everyday. He just lays there on a his side and does it not caring who walks by. And NY'ers just don't give a damn.
Sorry if I ruined your lunch. HEHE
Not to change the subject back unhappy, but this picture is just like what Chris Rock said.
"If a hobo has a funny sign, they havn't been homeless for to long. Real homeless people are to hungry to be funny."
Back to the other topic, I'm sure seeing this every day you would get used to it...but that had to take some time. What type of conversation could you have with this guy?
