Signspotting: Ninjas Killed My Father, Seattle Mike Richard August 6, 2009 Seattle, Sidelines, Signposting 5 Comments © romulusnr Maybe the best panhandler sign I’ve ever seen. 5 Responses Fred Wiederhold August 7, 2009 Now that is creative. The guy should be in advertising! Reply James August 7, 2009 Versions of this sign have been kicking around for years. The first one I ever saw said something along the lines of “Family kidnapped by ninjas”, but the punchline is always the same. And really, how can you resist giving that guy a dollar? Reply Mike Richard August 7, 2009 Ha! That’s what I’m saying, James. We were accosted by a homeless guy in Montreal who blatantly said “Gimme a buck, I need to get drunk.” You have to appreciate the honesty. Reply Melissa W. August 9, 2009 I spotted this sign in Dublin about three years ago… only he looks like a hipster and wanted money for kung fu lessons. http://www.flickr.com/photos/simplywithstyle/187409222/ Reply melissa & malakai August 15, 2009 A little honesty goes a long way for us as well. Melissa and I saw a guy standing on a corner in Indianapolis. His sign: “Why lie? It’s for beer.” Reply Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Your email address will not be published.
