#10: "And for those beggars at the traffic lights, I hand them a “help wanted” ad. "

One time my brother reached into his bag of groceries and handed the bum a beer. LOL.

Apropos of which - there was a panhandler at 14th street and the Downtown Connector, who had a sign: WHY LIE? I NEED A BEER!

I gave him a fiver for his honesty and told him so.

I think many of them make more than I do.

I’ve seen them set up at a corner and reach into their coat, pull out a roll of cardboard signs, and pick the one they want to use. Many will have a little 4:20 reference on them, letting you know that weed would be an acceptable offer. Some of my favorites: “Why lie? I just want a beer,” and “I’ll bet you can’t hit this sign with a quarter.”

A guy I know had a brilliant idea in his younger days. He wanted to make counterfeit $1 bills and hand them out to panhandlers.

Law enforcement authorities would spend years scratching their heads, trying to figure out if it was even possible to prosecute anyone. LOL.
