Chop them off and make him legit.

I agree. I'll add, without any pain meds and a dirty knife.

About those beggars...

... I have adopted a policy of typically not giving these folks (homeless, highway walkers, etc) any money. I tell them I will buy them something to eat but I won't give them money. I had one "homeless" guy refuse to let me buy him something to eat and said, "I'll just go on down the road a ways..." I have had a couple of guys accept my offer of food. I took another guy to a gas station and I bought gas for a gas can he had with him. Giving them money may happen in a rare case... but not usually.

I must be a heartless hater.

I pay enough in taxes that are wasted on those sorts. There are plenty of placed for them to get help without harassing me.

There is a guy out our way, always in the same spot on a regular basis. He seems to treat it as a job. Takes coffee breaks at the shop near where he begs.

I've bought some coffee and sandwiches over the years; but I've never given out any money!

I am not a money person either. It's mostly a game to keep in cigarettes, dope, and alcohol. When they are in groups, they always have enough smokes and the brown bag being passed between them.

Here's the thing....

They make good money...nojoke I knew a few and had a college friend that could go out in red light traffic and pick up a hundred with in four lights...:dontknow: and the relatively new tactic of having a dog is very effective...:banghead:

Always money for cancer sticks no matter what else.

Just last week, our grand daughter thought she did her good deed for the day by buying a homeless guy (who probably wasn't homeless) a sandwich and a soda.
Took the sandwich off her, opened it, then threw it on the sidewalk ! Cussed her out for buying a sandwich he didn't like !!

Wish I'd been there with her :sour:

I just yell, "Get a job!!!" Only not those exact words.:roflblack: Giving advice makes me feel much better than giving food or money.

And then you get the people who complain if they are going to be hung by a brand new rope. You just cannot please all of the people all the time. :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:
