They say honesty is the best policy – I’d say that is
probably true.
Can you read his sign?
It doesn’t say he’s hungry (although he could be), it doesn’t say he has
to take care of a family (although he might need too), it doesn’t say he needs
a coat (although he will very soon) – it says he needs a dollar for a
beer. Yep - beer.
And you know, this request probably gets him more attention and many
more dollars than just standing there with the standard cardboard sign asking
for a little help.
It also makes you laugh and probably while you are getting
that chuckle, you flash the man a smile.
How many smiles do you think he gets a day
with any of the other standard fare signs?
My guess is very few, most people avoid eye contact at all – let alone
give a quick smile.
So yeah – why lie?
The man would like a beer and perhaps a friendly smile – and really, is
there anything wrong with that?
