Down in Worcester MA the low life beggars are on just about every street corner. While I was waiting at a light I saw a beggar working the line of cars. He was walking up to each car with a very pronounced limp, the light changed and the limp suddenly disappeared.
“He was walking up to each car with a very pronounced limp...”
A friend of mine went shopping and her kids saw a man in a wheelchair. He had a sign that said “Please help, hungry, disabled, can’t work”. Well, her girls just felt horrible and begged their Mother to give him some money. She said she didn’t think he was truly wheelchair bound... his legs were muscular. Long story short, she saw him a few days later wheeling behind the shopping center so she followed him via her car. Sure enough.. he walks out of his wheelchair and into a pickup truck. I think what annoyed her the most was the “guilt” that her girls imposed... or tried to impose. All in all, it was a good learning lesson IMHO.
