I thought this was a spoof on news site. I must say this was a great article and could easily be published in a legitimate news magazine. These ideas should be implemented everywhere immediately.

Keep up the good work.

Or you can give the panhandler an internet blog.

He can start a “Fundraising Drive” and use Google Checkout to collect “donations”.

I once saved an application from a fast food restraunt. I put it in an envelope and stuck a pen inside it. The local mall was where bums begged at the traffic light. I happened to come out of the mall one day and saw a beggar. The light was green, I slowed down and reached for the envelope. I handed it to the bum, He said “God bless you buddy”, and I drove off. I often wonder if he filled out the application, got an entry-level job and is now a franchiser somewhere, but I doubt it! (True story)

What if, after trying out this obviously simple scheme, people find that they actually enjoy panhandling, and realize that throwing rats at people is actually bad for their newly discovered enterprise. We may have people quitting their day jobs to free them up to work the lucrative rush hours. This reaction could potentially flood Seattle with with wannabes, and increase competition for the best locations. Not a pretty picture. That guy better learn karate fast.

I have this picture on my computer. The really creative people are the homeless guys with the best signs (like the included picture).
