I'm amazed at how coordinated the panhandlers are at the College Drive off ramp at I-10.

I used to work a job at a place near an off ramp in New Orleans. This group of vagrants would spread out a blanket in the grass between the lanes of the interstate and pass a good time while one would work the off ramp. At regular intervals, the one would come back to the group, hand off the sign he was using to the next bum in the rotation, and take a break. It was a pretty efficient operation.
