LOL, it crossed my mind the other week that someone could probably become wealthy and famous just by making a play on what the career bums do. Be creative in making up a cardboard sign and then stand at an intersection. Could read "I could work for food, but you keep giving me money so I don't have to."
Ever have 90% of an idea? You know the rest of it is there somewhere, but you don't have all of it yet? I just know that if you came up with the right controversial line for a sign like that, you'd have news cameras on you.
LOL, the sign could read "My Mercedes payment is due. Please help!" or "Need vacation money!"
