Dear Panhandlers,

Dear Panhandlers,

I might feel a little more compelled to give you a "helping hand" if you were a little more compelled to tell the truth.  It's always the same thing...
"My mother is having surgery next week and I'm just trying to get home."
"My brother was wounded in the war and..."

Blah, blah, blah, blah, BLAH!  Just tell the truth!

"Hi, I ran away from home 3 months ago because my mom wouldn't buy me an i-phone.  The last sucker I talked to gave me enough money to get to your crappy town and now I need a little more money to get to the next crappy town because nothing is ever going to be good enough for me."

or,

"I wanted to see the world while I was still young so I used my entire life savings and hit the road.  My life savings was about $80.00 so you can imagine how far that got me.  Now I'm stick in this crappy town because this is where I was able to hitch hike to and now I just want you to give me some money so I get the hell out of here."

or the really honest,

"Hi.  I'm lazy.  I don't want to work.  I'm going to sit here and beg other people to get me through life.  If you don't give me money, I'll just steal something later and take it back to the house I live in with my parents where I have no bills.  Then later, I will change into some nice clothes that I bought with the money I begged and get in my brand new car that my parents bought, and go cruising and use the gas that you are going to buy me."

or still yet,

"Hi, I'm a politician..."

AHHHHH!  GET A JOB!

Thanks,
Summer
