Clearly, I would not "panhandle" in such a manner that would break CA law:

I equate "begging" with "aggressive panhandling" and did not consider simply putting out a cup or tip jar ("passive panhandling") as begging. If my meaning or use of words was not clear, then I retract.

That said, in reality, I was joking about panhandling myself (as I would neither have the time or need)...I just wanted to point out that it was a typical activity for the homeless. For me, without housing expense, money would never be an issue...as it is not even with housing costs.
