If you were a beggar/bum, what would you write on your cardboard sign to encourage people to give you some money?
EDIT: Also, what are some of the most creative beggars/bums you've seen?

smurf yes I was hoping that's what this thread was about. I don't know what I'd write, but some of the homeless people in Toronto get pretty creative.
This one guy had a fishing rod with a cut-in-half Coca-Cola bottle instead of a hook and he had a sign that said "Fishing for change." Another was about midgets stealing his family and he needed money for stilts to conquer them or something weird like that. A really creepy one had a sign about how he needed money to pay the voices to stop talking ... I didn't give him change because I crossed the road in fear
One time I saw a guy with two dogs but his sign said he needed money for weed. I went and bought him dog food and taped a note to it that said something like "how about food for your dogs instead prick" or something like that.
"Need money. Accepting cash, credit and personal checks. Inquire within."
"Compliments 25¢ apiece"; I work for my money, thank you very much! Nice hair!
I never give money to beggars! If I get hassled, I surrender only food or beverage; never do I wonder where the money goes as I never dole it out!
You mean all those aren't true?
Impossible, I alway cry when I read their sad tale.
I probably wouldn't have a sign, or at least I hope I wouldn't.
If I were to have a sign, I'd have it say in my best cursive, "Would you please point me in the direction of your nearest wallet full of cash?"
GIBE MONI PLS
I REPORT U
HUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUE
BR?
there was a picture here
"Aliens stole my job, collecting money to ride on the next shuttle to Mars to take it back"
I would go to downtown in my suit and tie and slacks and shiny shoes, and have a sign that says:
Economy hurts even me
Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
"I am poor and homeless and too young to have wronged the world"
"New final Fantasy coming out.
Can't afford it by release day. "
