    Just walked past a homeless man

    Thought you'd like to know.

    How on earth did the homeless survive this winter?

      I once walked past a homeless man, he asked for 50p, but i ignored him. Felt a bit bad. 300 yards later, i stood in a tulipe. That's bad karma my mate said, and you know I thought he was right. So I went back to the homeless man, and punched him in the mouth!

          I've wondered that a few times when I've left for work and the thermometer is showing -10 or lower.

          We don't seem to have so many homeless here. Perhaps that's why.
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            Is there somewhere they can go, do they get state aid and why has this thread been moved to Light Relief?

              Hmmm. While hitching round Europe I've slept on streets and parks a few times. Just in average September it's bad enough.

                I ofter wonder that. I don't think I would.

                And why, if they can't afford to feed themselves, do they invariably have a dog with them?

                    Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
