Homeless Sign

Not having a means to earn income was making my journey feel worthless the other day, so I did what any enterprising business man would do: ask for money.

Spent the morning thinking up this sign. No, not that one - this one:

It had to be mathematically correct. Even if no one else could tell the difference, it mattered to me.

Here are my notes:

I tried to think up ways I could show the sign to people. One of them was to use my car.

I put up the sign while I studied at the library in Elizabethton, TN.

Elizabethton is not the most lucrative place to teach calculus.

There were workers bundling hay outside, next to the library. There was a Swastika and KKK scrawled in the library bathroom. There are library signs telling people not to smoke or do drugs while inside.

I hope punk kids don't graffiti my car for being a "NERRRRD"!

I haven't used the sign to ask for money yet.... I'm planning to get a paint stirrer from Lowes' to attach as a handle to my sign. Then I want to find a college town and sit outside holding my sign while I study. My target areas are educated places with students who have disposable money, but aren't very rich or smart. : - ).

Rich people don't give their money away and smart people disdain people who are beneath them. No affluent rich kid would be caught dead taking a Calculus lesson from a homeless person. They'd feel insulted that someone begging for food could be superior to them. : D
