whats the best "bum" sign you've ever seen?

[soup or man]

you know...those guys that site on the medians at stop lights with "vietnam vet, need money godbless".

well the best one i've seen is an older guy holding a sign that said "running for president, need funds"

hehe everybody gave him money.

 

[drboogie]

I saw this one and just had to give the guy credit for his honesty ...

"Homeless and Broke. Need Beer."

 

[Brooks]

Yeah but his honest doesn't mean you're gonna pay for him to get plastered does it? Like Chris Rock said, if a bum is funny he hasn't been a bum for that long. A real bum is too hungry to be funny.

 

[drboogie]

So what does your sign say, Brooks?

 

[Brooks]

?

I laughed when I saw a scruffy guy standing near a busy intersection holding a sign that said "Consciencious Objector in the War on Poverty."

I might have given him a couple dollars, but he had misspelled the word "conscientious," so I had to turn him over to the Spelling & Grammar Enforcement League.

 

[Wingnut]

"Need money for booze, pot, and hooker
--At least I'm not bull$hitting you"

Seriously...

 

[Sacotool]

Wingnut, I saw a guy with that same exact sign in Times Square in nyc.

Brooks, I love that Chris Rock act. I think the best bum sign I've ever seen is "The aliens are coming, help me save the Earth."

Of course if aliens were coming, it would be this exact bum who would save the Earth. My money would definately help too.

 

[Double Trouble]

"Elect Gore For President"

 

[markjrubin]

"Why lie? I'd love a beer."

Farbio can vouch for that. He used to hang out by the Florida State Campus on Tennessee street.

 

[warlord]

forget it, I can't read

 

[marketsons1985]

I can't remember the exact words, but in Toronto, while waiting to see Phantom of the Opera a couple years back,
"Gots to shoot up,
Gimme your cash"
or something like that, it was funny as hell!!

 

[Farbio]

hey, mark, quit revealing all my sign secrets...that one was working!

 

[commodore]

funniest bum i ever saw wasn't really a bum, rather a past out college frat boy sleeping on the street corner. his buddies put a sign in his arms saying "my mom didn't send it western union." it was hysterical.

 

[SufferinSuccotash]

How about the one in Van Halen's Right Now video... "Will wrestle you for food."

 

[Lorax]

i saw one once with something like "please give me money, god bless" with all these religious symbols on it, but the jesus fish thing was backwards.

 

[chansen]

What is with that Jesus fish thing anyways?

Craig

 

[Lorax]

chansen: the jesus fish thing was used in the old days when christians were persecuted and ridiculed (kind of like today) and to identify other christians you would draw one &quot;arc&quot; of the fish, and the other person would draw the other arc... thats what i heard, i could be wrong. it also kinda represents when Jesus said &quot;you will be fishers of men.&quot; i think.. anyway, the bum had it the wrong way, like ><> instead of <><.

 

[dennilfloss]

This is the best bum sign I've seen on Anandtech.

(_Y_)

It's a bummoticon!

Uplift (Pantera)

 

[WombatWoman]

Bummoticon, eh? I think I'll just sit this one out.

 

[HardTech]

The only bum sign I've seen is
&quot;I have 7 kids and need to feed them tonight&quot;

my answer would've been to stop having kids and get a damn job, you pervert!!
