I tried to give a guy food once, who said he needed money to get something to eat. He was a jerk about it and asked for money. That was the last time I tried to help a bum.

There's a one-armed fellow working the off ramp near my kids' daycare right now. Considering it's all tax free for him, I'd be willing to bet he nets about what I do working a job. Not a bad gig, really when you consider two rush-hours a day is about 4 or 5 hours "work".
