A really cool Hobo
« on: January 21, 2001, 09:37:00 PM »
Today when I was inbound from my almost daily trip to austin I saw something really funny/interesting

You know those "bums" that stand near underpasses with the cardboard sign saying something like
"please help me, I have 9 children and a sick legless wife"

well today as I was getting on I-35 south, I was waiting at the light near the onramp and there was one of those guys with the cardboard as usual, accept insted of some bleeding heart message it simply said
"Im not gonna lie, I really want a beer"
I nearly rearended the car in front of me and my GF spit Dr.Pepper all over the dash, I waved him over and gave him $3 and told him to try Ziegenbach.

Interesting Wobble....I saw a guy a while back in Austin with a sign that said, "Relieve stress....Yell at a homeless guy....$1"  I nearly ran off the road I was laughing so hard.  I think I gave the guy a $5...but I didnt yell at him.

I knew a guy that was a real hippy in the '60's that panhandled for a living for a while. In the late '60's he was pulling in 10k/year. Not bad for an out of work bum in the '60's. He made a point of saying that that didn't include drug sales.
