I saw a bum once who was holding one of those signs wanting to work (fat chance!). He was wearing one of my old Pendleton shirts. I had outgrown it and my wife had donated it to some charity.

I had to stifle the urge to mug the guy for my shirt. Nice looking plaid shirt. He was pretty rough tho and the garmet wouldn't have fit anyway. He was smoking a cigarette! Here's a guy wearing my donated shirt and he is smoking cigarettes that cost $6 a pack! Jeeze, something is wrong.

Steve, he probably had a Mercedes parked around the corner.
There was a news story on a guy pan handling in Seattle a few years ago, the guy was fired from a 6 figure salry job. He never told his wife or family. The guy was able to maintain the lifestyle by begging at innersections. He would leave his house in a suit, go to the Y and change clothes, go to the chosen location and hold up a sign asking for money. No taxes to pay and all cash to take home to mama.
Wakes you wonder, don't it
