I work Downtown for a world wide insurance company. Being downtown, you see some odd stuff. A fella on my team saw a homeless person a few blocks away with a sign asking for money.

Normally I don't give hand outs, but this guy got $5 out of me for originality.

His sign read:

"Ninjas killed my family. Need money for Kung-Fu lessons."

I agree - creative thinking is key. So why doesn't this man work in advertising?

Now I wonder if that is him or if the guy that got the $5 isn't as creative as we thought :-3

Sadly, it is often said that if these guys put as much imagination and effort into working as they do into coming up with reasons why you should give them the money instead, then they would become multi-millionaires!
