Bums and Roses

shouldn't it be Bums n' roses, anyway i probably would by the rose because it's the thought that counts aint it :choc:

I'd examine the roses carefully before purchasing any of them.

The bums in my country are usually quite trustworthy.

Think of it this way:

a) You are showing her a spontaneous act of romance. I hear the gals love that kind of thing.

b) You are showing her you care about others. That should go over well.

c) The homeless guy gets some money. And it's better than forking over to a panhandler.

How's a bum gonna get roses?
I'd call the cops, and see if there were any bloody murdered florists or whatever.
Then I'd do what Murder would. :love:

I agree with all of the above. ^

Is Axl Rose the aforementioned bum?

A rose is a rose, regardless of who's selling it.

Thank you, Gertrude Stein. :D

you should strategically drive back past that exit after picking her up so she can see you both buying her a rose and helping out a homeless guy. Compassion.

Like I said...but well put, nonetheless.

A rose for your date.

What now? You pull off at your exit and wait at the stoplight, and notice a bum selling (of all of the things on Earth) roses. Say what? Normally they just beg or mess up your windshield by "cleaning" it, but there they are. On the corner with a plastic bag full of red roses.

What do you do? Would you trust a bum selling roses?

You say that like it's not plausible. There are people selling roses on ever other corner around here. And cherries, and pistachios, and oranges too. They're not bums though, they're illegal Mexican immigrants.

I buy stuff from illegal immigrants all the time. Good stuff, generally.

Yeah, but that's Los Angeles.

This guy was a legitimate bum, though, which is completely separate from illegal immigrants.

at least he's trying to earn some money.

Why not? Although I never would. They sort of creep me out a little bit, so as little interaction as possible is best. Especially if it's late at night.
