Alms for the poor

New York has its fair share of homeless. Trying to ignore or avoid panhandlers is just part of the rhythm of daily life.

Yesterday I saw a homeless kid holding a cardboard sign. On it was scribbled the saddest story I've yet come across:

"Parents killed by ninjas," the sign read. "Need money for kung fu lessons."

Mmm. Tugs at the heartstrings. I gave him a quarter.

Ahh.. the kung fu fightin homeless.

Maybe he needs some more key light on his ...

I'd have to say that the Marlboro porn stash gave me a laugh and a smile that you don't get unless you work for a utility company and bite the lines during a hurricane.

Yes it has been a while, but you know I'm the real Gene Wilder.

I hate to tell you, but you won't be serving any more daiquiris on Elysian Fields.

Hit the cell.
