Panhandling signs as humor and folk art

My all time favorite panhandling sign is the guy with the "checks no longer accepted from these people" sign.  But the guy with no legs and the sign saying "I'll kick you in the head" is pretty close. 

What can a homeless person give to all of you in normal society?  As a homeless panhandler back in 2007, I realized there is one thing.  Sometimes, as a panhandler, you can give a complete stranger a laugh.  When I used to panhandle with different funny signs every day, years ago, I actually had regular commuters who would pull up and thank me.  "Dude, I don't have a dollar today, but you make me laugh every freakin' day on the way home, thanks."  I got that kind of comment regularly.  Have you ever tried to make complete strangers laugh with a few words on a cardboard sign?  It's not as easy as you think.  

Talk smack all you want, but what pathetic little annoyance were you complaining about before you watched this video, of people who sleep outside, and still took the time to try to make someone laugh?  Stop whining.  It could be worse.
