On our way back from Navy Pier, we walked by a college student - or so his note said - playing a guitar, trying to earn some extra money. A few steps later, we passed a homeless person shaking a cup at us, begging for money.
Linda: At least the college guy was actually trying to EARN his money.
Kristin: But that bum only had one leg.
Linda: How does having one leg affect his ability to play the guitar?
Kristin: Where is a bum with one leg supposed to get a guitar?
Linda: Good point. Where do you want to eat dinner?
Now, I didn't give money to either one of them, but I think that given the choice, I would have given some to the guy who was REALLY working the corner and not sitting there, all stinky, waving a cup in my face. Unless, the bum's mentality was that he'd wave the loud change cup, hoping to get dome dollars to muffle the clank.
Points to ponder.
