Bum signs

Kadizzle had to visit every grocery store in Cottonwood to get his wine.  The nice looking bum lady at Walmart was begging on the corner.  Her sign said she had two kids and needed help.  The sign looked pretty well made.  At the last grocery store where Kadizzle finally found the wine he wanted he encountered another bum.  This bum was a man and his sign had a striking resemblance to the lady bums sign.  It even had the two kids plea on it.  Kadizzle stopped and asked the sign bummer if it was his wife over at Walmart working that corner.  Mr. Bum assured Kadizzle it was not.  This got Kadizzle thinking. Perhaps there is a market for bum signs. Walmart should have a selection of pre-made signs that have various pleas for money.  Kadizzle could start a business renting signs to bums.  The bums could work on commission.

Kadizzle if the boredom sets in badly enough may make a bum sign for himself.  The sign will say " To Lazy to work, please help".   Once Kadizzle did this in front of a bar in some little town in North Dakota that was having a festival.  People would pitch a quarter in and laugh. Once Kadizzle had enough he would buy a pitcher of beer and offer it to people passing by.  An old lady came up an chewed Kadizzle royally.  She said there was nothing wrong with Kadizzle and told him to get a job.

Sister Patty goes by these bums every day.  She says one bum always comes up with funny signs and sometimes she pitches him a coin.
