Best Bum Ever
Soooooooo disappointed that I didn't have my camera with me, cuz this is classic. I just saw this guy again the other day, but a few weeks back, Jacob and Walton were visiting me and we went to a Giants game. We're on our way back from it, and we pass this bum on the sidewalk with a sign that read:
"FAMILY ABDUCTED BY NINJAS.... NEED $$ FOR KARATE LESSONS"
Best bum sign ever, in my opinion.... can you top it?

My Personal favorite was a bum I saw on Venice Beach. His sign read "Give to the United Negro Pizza Fun".
It's not really my story but Friedman once told me about a bum who was in a tree with a fishing pole. Friedman bitched at him and asked him if he thought he would give him money just for being creative.
Oh... sorry, I had no idea that DC was so Politically Correct. I'm sooo insensitive to refer to the Mentally Ill Homeless as Bums. I guess in heinsight there is a difference, but it's often hard to tell. If I were a Bum, I'd probably act mentally ill just to amuse myself and maybe those around me.
Yea, we have a guy in Chinatown who plays the one-stringed stand-up violin. To me, it sounds like fingernails on a chalkboard though. So freakin whiney and abrasive.
And speaking of your "God Bless You" guy, there's a guy here that just walks around all day... and I mean all day, every day, with a bright neon yellow sign that says "Jesus Loves You". He's not really homeless from what I can tell, and I frequently like to judge people on appearances. And he doesn't ask for money or anything. Just silently walks the earth informing all of humanity (at least in san francisco) of the love that Jesus apparently has for us. One question, oh prophet... How do you eat?? And don't tell me that the stale bread at communion is all you need.
