Jose and Carlos are both beggars. They beg in different areas of town.
Carlos begs for the same amount of time as Jose, but only collects about eight or nine dollars a day.
Every day, Jose brings home a suitcase full of ten dollar bills. He drives a Mercedes, lives in a mortgage-free house, and has lots of cash to spend.
"Hey, amigo," Carlos says to Jose, "I work just as long and hard as you do, so how come you bring home a suitcase full of ten dollar bills every day?"
Jose says, "Look at your sign, what does it say?"
Carlos' sign reads;
I have no work, a wife and six kids to support.
"What's wrong with that?" Carlos asks him.
"No wonder you only get eight or nine dollars a day!"
Carlos says, "Alright, so what does your sign say?"
Jose's sign reads:
I only need ten dollars to get back to Mexico.

tee hee.
very funny....it’s the kind of joke where you cut a fart and then find out that fart isn’t what you thought it would be...... funny, nonetheless.
I’d try that if I weren’t so Scandinavian in appearance...
There was beggar in So Ca that would sit outside the grocery and make you feel guilty when you rolled out your cart full of food.
I caught his wife picking him up in the new Mercedes one night.
John Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN) for 6 a.m.
While his coffeepot (MADE IN CHINA) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (MADE IN PHILIPPINES) .
He put on a dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA), designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE) and tennis shoes (MADE IN VIETNAM). After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet (MADE IN INDIA), then he sat down with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO) to see how much he could spend today.
After setting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN) to the radio (MADE IN INDIA), he got in his car (MADE IN GERMANY) filled it with GAS (from Saudi Arabia) and continued his search for a good paying AMERICAN JOB.
At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day checking his computer (MADE IN MALAYSIA), John decided to relax for a while. He put on his sandals (MADE IN BRAZIL) poured himself a glass of wine (MADE IN FRANCE) and turned on his TV (MADE IN KOREA), and then wondered why he can’t find a good paying job in AMERICA.
AND NOW HE’S HOPING HE CAN GET HELP FROM HIS PRESIDENT (MADE IN KENYA)!
Funny!
I like the beggars wearing brand new NIKE’s.
The orphanage in Mexico beggar “priests” dressed in white with a priest collar, pay a monthly fee to be allowed to beg in the organizations name. They keep wahtever they collect above the fee.
Ja-ja-ja-ja
No foolin.
I got nothing for beggars.
want a job? that’s a different matter.
I think they saw that Simpsons epsiode with Kirk Douglas one too many times.
Krusty: I gave you blintzes to paint my fence, and you never did!
Hobo: Those blintzes were terrible!
Krusty: Paint my fence!
Hobo: Make me!
