If the homeless really want to rake in the big panhandling bucks, they need to rethink their signs. 'Will work for food' just doesn't cut it in today's competitive panhandling market, and nobody believes it anyway. 'Won't work for anything, plan on buying beer', now that would grab me for it's blunt, urban honesty. I once gave a dollar to a dude who's sign said 'Need $$$ for pot' for just that kind of honesty.
Here are a few more suggestions:
My other card is a maxed VISA
I invested in Enron
Help! I still have 3 payments on this sign
Help! My marker is running out of ink
This is not a sign
I'm a performance artist
Feel free to add your own to the list.
The undeserving poor need more!
My company is called "dot dead"
Will sponge for beer
Have sign
Will freedload
Cash only
(no pesos)
Lost refrigerator box in divorce. Need $$$ for new refrigerator, but promise to only play with the box.
You give me money and I'll give you love.
Give - It'll make you feel good.
I understand that nobody has 'spare' change, as in change they can't use. I just want some money. Help a philosophy major out?
I only need some money to supplement my annuity.
Give me money and I won't turn to crime.
Too drunk to drive, need money for a cab to get to shelter.
Help! I need extra money to pay the taxes on my summer home.
Need money for a Squeegie, then I'll have a real job
I'm a fashion statement, or have you not heard of "Derelichte?"
"This is the newest realest reality show"
I blame the system, but still need a dollar
Don't be fooled by my cigerettes and booze I really, really need more money.
Your buck could stop here
"No longer have home, used it to make sign"
Stumble It!
