was at pike place yesterday and across the street i saw a guy holding a sign that read something like ...

MY DAD WAS KILLED BY NINJAS
NEED MONEY FOR KARATE LESSONS


i thought that was hilarious i would've gave him some money for originality if i had any

 

yeah--thats a good one.

 

I saw a kid holding a sign like that a couple weeks ago. And across the street his buddy was filming it. I busted up laughing when I read it, and he was having a very hard time keeping a straight face.

Speaking of signs…..

A buddy and I were driving around, and pulled up to some hot chick holding a sign, “vehicle broke down, stranded, need money for lodging”. Just about everyone in front of me was handing her bills, my friend even pulled out $10 for me to give her. At the next intersection, there was a guy holding the exact same sign. Hardly anyone was giving him anything. I gave him a couple bucks of change that was in my cup-holder. I think it must have been hilarious when they met up to count their take. She probably had a wad of cash, and he probably had a pocketful of change.

 

I saw this guy way back:

 

once passed a guy in Daytona with a sign that said "Why lie, need beer"

gave him a couple bucks for his honesty... and even got a pic of it... ill have to find it though...

 

I like it when they are straight forward. Once saw a sign that was so long that you could barely read the small print. By the time you’re done reading it, you’re already passing them and can’t slow down to give them anything.

 

Occasionally I feel like telling them, “go down that way about a half mile. Look for the dude holding the sign for Mattress World, go inside and ask the manager if you can hold that sign tomorrow.”

 

A guy came up to us on Halloween while I was living in Chicago...
He walked up and said: "You guys like my Halloween costume? I'M A BUM!" That was awesome. I think he got 20 bucks collectively from us.

I had another guy threaten to "cut my fkn throat" because I didn't have any change though...

 

I heard on the radio about some bum in Portland that went off on a lady because she gave him a hamburger (one from a restaurant) and he didn't like pickles.

 

haha...............

ninjas killed my family,
need money for kung-fu lessons...

some kid with almost no clothes on walked into applebees in edison a while back with that sign on hanging from his neck. I guess he lost a bet or something..

 

my mom gave this guy in north carolina some mcdonalds coupons,dnt recall what his sign said.Then we saw him at that same gas station trying to sell them to people!

 

I've seen this graphic for a while now...

 

 

he's on the 520, lake washington blvd exit now.

 

I'm sure it's in every city but there are people in Atlanta who make a good living by doing this crap. It's because of them I don't give anyone money. I can't stand being hassled by every stupid pity story the moment I walk out of the building.

though these guys do deserve some money for creativity.

 

you guys should wear these:

lol just ordered one!! lol

 

did you ever see that part on mind of mencia where he compares homless people by race? the black guy was selling oranges, the hispanic guy was selling flowers, and then the white guy was just standing there with a sign that said "need $$$ any amount will help" and he called the white guy lazy (from a safe distances LOL).

 

yeah i remember that episode, but it was about people that were un employed... the black guy was selling roses, the hispanic was selling oranges... and the white guys where sitting in a coffee shop...

 

I saw a guy in Augusta with a sign that stated:

"Hey wuz up? My name is Ron and I need help or a ride to..."

I didnt get to finish reading it because I was driving by. But wtf! Does he expect people to be more drawn to him because he said "wuz up"(and yes it was spelled that way) and introduced himself via cardboard
