...just a regular joe and his workday graft...

I mean ya don't have to be on a city street corner or look like a poor wee crippled up Tiny Tim to be a bona fide 'panhandler', why I've seen some of the best in the business from the finest in zip codes, drinkin' nothin' but top shelf whilst sportin' the latest snazzy in snappy tailored suits, so everybody just slowly back away from the Ky Jelly, The Mighty Bluegrass is just as fine as brotha can ya spare a dime.
A couple few years back, a Cincinnati news "Investigative" whatevers, they followed some of the roadside "Need Help", "Disabled", "Work For Food" type sign holders hangin' by the major high traffic count downtown intersections and such, after they finished their 'shifts'.
They busted a few scumbags scallywaggin' around, and in particular was this middle age(ish) average nice lookin' lady they stealthily filmed walkin' to her swell SUV, and then drivin' to her suburban split level ranch or some such not so low rent, low rent scofflaw, domicile, before they ambushed her...don't recall her being all too repentant neither, but I seem to remember she might have had a bit of a stutter

.
Twas a pretty sweet ride and some seriously kickin' digs even for a full time tin cup professional, is what I'm sayin'

...must take an ambitious amount of motivated committed commitment, is what I'm thinkin'

...ain't no bidness likes showbidness, is what I be knowin'

Done! But I hate Paypal so you have to come to CA with a really good gimmick and stand on my street corner. The pencil idea will work.....

If you want I can do my deluxe panhandler routine where I wear a funny hat and do a little dance, but I'll charge you more because I have to use props.

I will definitely pay you $2 for that. If it's really good, $5.
