Get a job!
Yesterday at the bus stop, I was staring off in the distance, waiting for my transportation to appear on the horizon, when that great practitioner of holding a cardboard sign Whiskey Mike walked up beside me and joined me in my stare. And then he spoke - not so much like he was speaking to me, but more like he was speaking alongside me.
"What gives people the right to drive around this town thinking they're better than a motherfucker?" He asked.
The fact that they don't fuck their mothers? I didn't say aloud.
"I've been standing out here five hours and only bummed three dollars," he said. "Maybe if these uppity fuckers would get a job, they could give me more money."
Wiser words have seldom been spoken.

That one is a pearl. Kinda like the homeless guy on Congress in downtown Detroit who said: "Don't underestimate the penny. You get five of them and you've got yourself a nickel." Pure genius, man.
