Besides the unusual beautiful day prior to Thanksgiving Day, there are the usual homeless folks standing on the corners of the street, holding up their signs and waiting for a hand-out. I see these as “tests” of the “horizontal spirit” as per a New Age book which I normally read while pooping on the toilet.
I saw they are young. I saw they are possibly illegal “aliens”, drug users and/or alcoholic winos. Whatever the case, no one from the vehicles closest to them bothered to roll down their windows and offer a few bucks for feed their souls or stomachs. I was about to get out my wallet and saw a few bills but nothing lower than a couple of loose five dollar bills.
I know I could have handed those precious bills to anyone. I know I didn’t because I justified my action already that fine morning. I know I can be a wealthy prick if I wanted to. If Maw and Paw were with me, they would have not handed out anything. It’s just getting ridiculous. How much lower can TPTB go before testing the will of the Lord? Huh?

I know Manong Ben has done the same – holding up a homeless sign on one of the street corners for laughs. His basketball buddies caught him one time and got their laughs too. He claims to have lots of money in the Philippines. But they are pricks when it comes to medical intervention, if you know what I mean.
Many other times, I’d see these reptoids holding cellphones, which means they are not poor at all. One was actually working two locations. We even saw one get into his car after awhile of standing in a corner of our neighborhood. So my conclusion is this: Being homeless is like being a prick.
