So, we have all fallen prey at on time or another to the silly lines thrown at us in an effort to give up our cash. Let's face it, wouldn't you rather fork over the dough to the poor little impoverished punk in the gutter than go pick up some new vinyl, be it of the music or clothing variety? Sure you would!

Well, we here at S.A.L. would like to dedicate this page to some of our favorite panhandlin' pick-up lines. We are always on the look out for original ones, so feel free to send us ones that have been used on you, unwitting victim that you were.

My personal favorite: "Hey, wanna help me make love on the sidewalk?" (Says as is laying out pennies in the form of the letter L & O.) Ummm...let's see? Wasn't that you I saw last

ruminations from rabid rabbi naes:
anti-crusty mindfuck slogans

these are replies one can give to stupefy the most intelligent spanger long enough to keep walking and make them forget they even saw you, my personal favorite (aside from the classic, 'fuck you, get a job asshole!') is this:

'sorry man, can't delay the revolution'

it takes them awhile to figure that one out, i love it.

if they don't get it and actually follow you trying to find out why, say

'if i give you money, how does that help create social unrest or anarchy?'

if they still don't get it, tell them this:

'fuck you, get a job asshole!'

here in berkeley, the line goes: 'spare change for beer???' i usually say, sure!'
(then put your hand out and look at them as if they should give you their spare change!) that one really pisses em off.
