Panhandlers For Truth
FOUND by Rebecca Hills in Denver, Colorado
I found this sign a block from 'The Dope House', our local head shop in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. I'm thinking it wasn't that effective since the owner decided to discard it.

Panhandlers once asked me if I could "Spare some change for LSD research?"

Obviously the author was just trying to cover his bases. They needed food and a vessel in which to prepare said food. :)

I agree with Oana. If you're going to beg for money, you may as well be honest.

yeah, about that. there's a guy here in richmond that panhandels and his schtick is his sign, which reads, "I won't lie. I want a BEER."
you'd think it would be endearing. It's not.

I saw a guy with a "I won't lie, I want a BEER" sign in San Fransisco once! I laughed, and I was like 12.

Jeez! I lived in Capitol Hill for four years, and this is the stupidest bum sign i have seen yet! I've heard that the bums in Denver are all organized under a union and that there is a boss who sets them up strategically throughout the city and provides them with signs and everything! not too sure about that one :)anyway, capitol hill is a very amusing place to reside.

when i was in college i had a couple come up to me, and the guy said 'i'm not gonna give you a big song and dance, honestly we're just trying to make enough for a six pack.'

i gave him $2.

What's anything?

I'm loving how honest this is.

I like the ones that say.

"I'll be honest: I'm spending it on beer and cigarettes."

My favorite name for a local head shop is The Joint Effort.

I don't like the sound of "the Dope House" sounds too much like a shooting gallery.

I was in Denver in October & saw the man holding this sign (or maybe not this one, but I swear it's the same!) on the way to the 16th Street Mall. AMAZING! I didn't have any cash to give him though.

missing the old days back in santa cruz
awwww. This reminds me of Santa Cruz, CA.

I love Santa Cruz -- people come up on the street and are honest about what they want...
But, if you go there, HIDE YOUR DOGGIE-BAGS!!!! The moment you step foot ouside someone will ask "Can I have that?" Ohhh Santa Cruz and the lovely leftover hippies who keep the practices of their youth...
and the pink umbrella man who walks slowly around... he's amazing.
