Best Panhandling Sign > General Discussion

Posted: 2/21/2007 3:36:16 PM EDT

My buddy called me on his mobile phone to tell me that he had just seen the best All-Time Panhandling Sign.

He saw a lady, that only had one leg, standing by the road on crutches, holding a home-made cardboard sign saying:

"Need help. I'm on my last leg."

No kidding.

"HELP. CHUCK NORRIS IS AFTER US. NEED MONEY FOR KARATE LESSONS!"

eta: some street kids in downtown Portland had that sign, the younger ones have the more humorous signs. I still don't give them any $$, because they choose to be there

That's excellent! I like the ones where they say, "Hell, who's kidding anybody--I need a drink!"

Laurie and I gave a guy $5 at the corner the other day because it was cold and windy...later on, we stopped at the convenience store and he was in there buying cigs.

Oh well....it's his choice.

"Fucked" That's it, that's all it said. Some hipster girl near Union Square in NYC.

(She looked like she wasn't joking either.)

I had a panhandler harangue my school group outside the FBI HQ in DC with a song about how we needed to give change to the singin', dancin', long-time romancin' hobo. It was pretty entertaining till some agent and a couple security types shooed him off.

there were some stoner kids on the overpass by my house who had a sign that said; "family killed by ninjas, need money for kung-fu lessons"

I laughed so hard I forgot to flip them off
