I saw the very best homeless person's cardboard sign yesterday.

[MrCoffee]

By the Pike Place Public Market in Seattle. It read:
"Father Killed By Ninjas. Need Money for Karate Lessons"

1. I would have given that man money.

That's creativity.

[MrCoffee]

2. you know he'd just buy crack with it.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

3. Yeah, I know, but that's his perogative.

[MrCoffee]

4. sweet. can i borrow five bucks?

my sensei needs the cash.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

5. Go bother someone else.

[astral]

12. Are you serious?

It is not true that all down and out people are strung out on drugs and/or alcohol. Sure some are. Sure some get that way, after all if you're cold and hungry and dirty most of the time being high on top of it all might not make matters worse.

Don't assume your assumptions are always right. There's going to be a LOT MORE OF US out there living from hand to mouth in the near future.

6. How about this one?

If I had been there, I'd have given him some, though how much would have depended on what sort of gift he had in mind.

7. I'd give him a dollar

It's time to stop those damn ninjas, I don't care if they are turtles killing fathers is bad.

[MrCoffee]

9. i had some change...gave it over with a smile.

i've had it up to here with those lousy ninjas, and i'm willing to support a candidate who'll stand up to them.

8. i'd have given him money

for creativity and the smile it would given me.

[KG]

10. my fave said: I NEED A BEER AND THATS THE TRUTH.

i gave him 5 bucks for his integrity.

[catmandu57]

11. I can see a whole new industry here

writing creative signs for the homeless. Gone are the days of will work for food, just give me a percentage of the take.

[Broken_Hero]

13. hmm...
