Buddy, can you spare a dime?

Okay, so I'm driving home this afternoon. As I exit the Interstate, I notice at the bottom of the ramp at the stop sign, is a guy with a sign that simply said, "Hungry." I Frost-ing hate that. I mean, you're captive until traffic thins to where you can make your turn, so your choice is to sit there, with your window rolled up, pretending to not notice, or you can give him some money, WHICH, I might add, I HAD NONE ON ME!



And, wouldn't you know it? The Frost-ing Presidental motorcade was coming through, so I was there for like, 2 minutes! But, while I was there, trying to ignore him, I began to think of things I COULD do:



1. I could roll down my window and say, "Hungry? Why, YES I AM!! Thanks for reminding me, I'm headed to McDonalds...Da da da da da, I'm LOVIN'IT"



2. I could roll down said window and say, "Hungry? Sorry, I'm not going that far, I'm only going as far as GERMANY!"



3. I COULD have given him money, but I am going to hell anyway, and a few bucks to a hungry guy ain't gonna redeem Shakespeare, so, Frost that.



4. I could get out of the car, and offer him $1 for every push-up he could give me. I mean, make him work for it, right? AND of course take pictures of that for my fellow GABbers.



Now I am turning it over to you. What could I do? He is usually there once a week, any ideas?



Discuss...I mean, don't act all offended or anything, we are ALL on the same bus to hell, for God's sake.

My ChriSTAIN friend gave me a questionnaire and one question was: Assuming all that Jesus crap (Im paraphrasing here) is true; where do you think you would spend eternity.



I said Hell. Duh.



Its warmer down there anyways.

My usual protocol with beggars and bums is to ask them for change while they're hobbling up to me, before they have a chance to do it first.



I guess theres always the option to slip him a 50, Follow him for a little while, and beat him up for it in his home an alley.

Open your window just a crack, use your index finger to motion him closer to your car. Then, when he's about 5-8ft away, break out the air freshener and spray him.

I went for a walk while visiting someone in Toronto Sunday night. There was this guy with an unkempt beard walking briskly past us. There was a bounce in his step and he was whistling a happy little tune. He stopped at a railing about ten feet in front of us, sat down, opened a sign asking for money and looked up at me with sad and lethargic look on his face.



I think he should have at least got into character a couple of blocks before his begging spot.

And when your bloody hobo is on the ground begging to be left alone, spout "Easy come, easy go, mother-Froster!" and set his cardboard on fire.





Sorry if im a little vulgar, Im just trying to get a nice warm spot in hell with Jesus.

Go around the house and collect all the can goods you don't use or have been accumulating for months (years?). The next time you're face with this situation, simply open your window and start peggin' him with the canned goods.

Next time you are at the bank exchange 50 cents for Zambia Kwacha's. At todays exchane rate that would be aabout 2,432.50 ZMK's and give it all to the homeless guy.

Would I be incorrect in my assumption that homeless people who actually became that way due to unfortunate circumstances of whatever nature probably would not opt to sit on a street corner holding a sign begging for money. I would think they would seek shelter somewhere else (mission, homeless shelter, etc.) or other "helping" center where the staff might be able to connect them with odd jobs and help them get on their feet.

I say we sign them all back up and send them to Iraq. They get someplace to live and it saves me from having to deal with it.

All the homeless folks around here are Natives. I feel no remorse for them, They already get free money every month. AND a card that entitles them to cheaper cigarettes.





I think its the whole long hair, bad english, bad breath thing that keeps them from employment.

Hungary is a heart-stealer; it will lure you back again and again to sample its rich wines, lounge in its thermal spas, gaze at its birdlife and make one more attempt to master its hermetic language. It has all the luxury of western Europe with a Magyar twist and at half the cost.



Its graceful capital Budapest has a lively arts, cafe and music scene, and is host to a range of cultural and sporting festivals. In the countryside you'll find majestic plains, resort-lined lakes, Baroque towns, horse markets and rustic villages.

I can recall at least two stories that I've read, one by A. Conan Doyle and one by Stephen King that both have similar plots. In both there's a rich guy who starts his day off like any normal white collar worker, then changes into a bum outfit and panhandles all day, 'cause he can make way more money doing that than at any normal job.



Then at the end of the day he changes back into his suit and heads on home.



So I refuse to give money to bums, since I'm guessing most of them make six figures, drive BMWs and live in half-million dollar houses.
