I can't remember the last time I read one of their signs while waiting at a red light. I mean, is it possible that a single one is legit? I'd say definitely not.

I saw a girl hand some money out at Bluebonnet/Perkins the other day. It was an older black guy in filthy clothes. At least he looked the part.

This shite is nothing new.
Winter 1994 I'm working at Outback On Acadian taking out the trash one night. Dude comes across that little walking bridge from the office building with a sob story, saying he was mugged and beaten on his way to bus station. He had a nice bump on back of his head he said was from the beating.

I gave him $5 and a leftover go-box with a big piece of steak and tater someone forgot(we kept them in the kitchen area before eating ourselves or tossing out).

Was not a month later, the same guy with the same story approaches me while shite-canned drunk leaving the Bengal. I tried to pummel him but thank goodness a friend talked me down while he hauled arse towards the police station across the street.
I was 18, drunk, and angry. $5 was a lot of money for a college freshman busboy. I Would have gone to jail that night. frickin scammers.

The first place I'd go if I was homeless would be to a church since they often have programs there for that, and yet, I see the same people month after month.
