Get a JOB ya freakin panhandler!

I live in a fairly large western town with lots of people asking you for spare change. I am here to say DONT GIVE MONEY TO THESE SPONGING BASTARDS!. Now, why should you trust my judgement on this? Please, just this once, trust the judgement of internet strangers and keep these facts in mind..

1. Most large municipalities have numerous social service agencies for the truly homeless. Those that are truly homeless through no fault of their own get help quickly and efficiently.

2. Most of these programs require a modicum of responsibility like … oh say… showing up for an appointment to get your free check for doing nothing.

3. The reason most chronic homeless (the ones that you see on the side of the roads begging for spare change) to be out there is that they are heroin addicts, crack addicts, or alcohlics that can only get their drug of choice by begging for actual cash that they can then use to buy their drug

so if you want to enable an addict to get the drug of their choice, by all means give them cash but in truth you are harming them more than you can possibly know. You could give them food but they will not want it.. they want your cash for their drugs.. but this reminds me of a story….

Speaking of food I once worked in a fast food restaurant . Some of you may know it. It was White Castle. Speak in reverence at the name of it… WHITE CASTLE… Oh lord God Of The UNIVERSE.. when I die just please have White Castles in heaven. Now those of you that dont know might want to watch the movie Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle. It is a movie about the craving after a night of drinking or other recreational activities that a hot, fresh, restaurant prepared White Castle can only satisfy.

As I have stated before I worked at one once and flipped burgers on the night shift. One night myself and another employee challenged each other to eat a whole grill of the fabulous ambrosia known as White Castle Hamburgers. Yes folks, those of you who have worked there know.. thirty, count them (30) White Castle hamburgers.  I did it first but I am here to tell you it was no easy feat and I was sick the next day. Lessons learned from eating a whole single grill of White Castles…

1. Food eating contests are pointless, stupid, and a hazard to your health

2. White Castles are STILL the all time greatest food after a night of drinking.

speaking of drinking… wasnt I going to get a beer after my last entry… mmmmmm…. beeeer…
