    One could then build an army of said minions....rather cheaply....:yes2557:

    EDIT: amusing thought continued:

    Then build an army of beggars, scammers, & minions. Start a racket where money is extorted to move army to another location. Repeat. :)

    I really must find other ways to occupy my time.

    "BUTCH UP"???
    I guess you don't really know me.
    I wasn't the one who said he would dent the forehead of one truck-stop scammer and give another one a fire extinguisher enema, so deny all you want........I think you watched too many Roadrunner cartoons when you were toddlin'.......

    I had someone try to grab my wallet on the metro in Paris. Needless to say what he got instead was an ##### whooping. The police arrested him at the next stop and all the way to my stop no one said anything to me but they all stared at me the rest of the way.

    I just wasn't raised to take any ##### from anybody. Label me however you want to. Ask any panhandler/professional bullsh*tter that has ever asked me for a handout and you'll more than likely get the same response...."Don't ask that guy for a #### thing!"

    I also never made mention to the fact that I know you. Do me a favor, the next tiome you have some dirtbag physically stop you in your tracks at a TS and insist that you give him money, tell me how polite you are to him. I'm fairly certain that you will tell him to get the hell away from you or you just might have to......? For the record I happen to love the old Warner Bros. cartoons. Who doesn't?

    On the Metro (northbound side, Gallery Place station) in Washington, DC there is a guy who comes by almost on a daily basis (in the afternoon) asking "Can I borrow a dollar?" without of course, getting any contact information so he can repay you.

    He will go down a whole line of people waiting for the next train. You would think that in his mind, it would look bad if that once he gets a dollar then he should go away because he got what he was asking for. But NO ... he keeps going down the line of people asking away.

    Someone who I think is a local and should have known better, pulled out his wallet and gave him a dollar. The wallet was just hanging out there in the breeze and I was waiting for the beggar to grab the wallet and take off.

    He has not yet.

    But when he does, oh boy, does he have a suprise coming his way.

    I always have to get off there and swap to go to China Town, I normally only go there for hockey games lol.
    I was raised in Maryland though.

    Isn't it amazing what happens when you ask someone to actually earn their paycheck? And to think that certain people on here give me sh***t about my attitude.
