I went to grab some lunch yesterday. As I was coming down a long exit ramp from the interstate I saw a panhandler in a wheelchair by the left turn lane. He looked around, stood, and stretched. He walked around the chair, saw me coming and scrambled back to his seat like he was a finalist in high stakes professional musical chairs.
I laughed and turned right. That is why I never give money to those clowns.
Somewhere in the archives is the story of the panhandler in some place who set up camp with a “Will work for Food” sign across from a Wendy’s. Wendy’s was advertising “help wanted “.
Was this on 86th Street west? Always seems to be the same panhandler around there.
ReplyDeleteI just ignore them. And yeah, 86th and Michigan area is littered with them, some of them I think have title deeds to the spots where they squat.
ReplyDeleteAbout 1000 miles south…
