Thats kind of what I thought...4:20.....
If I stood on the offramp of the interstate 8 hours a day with a sign asking for money I would need to get high as well...

I'd say a good 75% of those sign guys are scams...seen news stories here and back home in Jacksonville about how much those guys pull in in a day or week...some of them are actually getting quite weathly doing it..It's sad that people like that ruin for those in true need...but they should all be arrested for loitering/trespassing on public/government property.

Those sign guys aren't vets either, they're lying parasites.

Here's my guess... what do I win?

John 4:20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

Bad guess MT- this parasite was obviously trying to get a free joint or two and doesn't care squat about God.


I hate panhandlers- if these guys had any self respect at all they'd steal instead of beg.

That's a pretty good guess, midnight Target.  If that isn't what the guy meant by 4.20, it oughta be.

Two guys camp the offramp where I exit for about 3 months now... Not being a Vet I wondered if the 4.20 was some kinda of special discharge number or something I guess...

I see guys with signs on about 4 of the busiest intersections on the way to work. They have newer and better clothing, shoes, gloves, etc. than I am wearing:(.
One day I gave one guy my card and said I would offer him a job, If he really was trully as desperate as his homemade cardboard sign said. He replied " unless I can give him $675.00 a day ( which he makes on the corner) then It wasn't worth his time. Now, I am not saying all these "cardboard sign holders" are fake, or that he wasn't lieing about what he takes in everyday, but if times get bad with me, I just may make one of these signs myself:).

Theres a women who frequents the same corner for about the last 15 years, and me and my wife Laugh because she STILL has a ( fake) cast on her leg for the whole 15 years. She should change it up and get a broke arm for awhile, but collecting the money would be harder.
