And singing beautifully!
Hello?
Are you in the castle?
Singing?
Bwa-ha-ha!
That would get me about as much as the rags do.
Actually my point was that I've noticed the folks at the street corners have an advantage in their chosen careers; they don't have to get dressed up for work.
But I also noticed that they wear their comfortable shoes. Who wants to stand around all day in shoes that hurt?
It rather blows their cover to do this, but comfort is comfort. "Are you gonna gimme a buck or not?" (Delivered with rum-reeking breath.)
Just to get things straight about me, though, -- I'm too proud to beg, except for sex.
