America - Where Beggars Can Be Choosers



I was talking to a young lady the other day who has frequently volunteered at a "soup kitchen" for the homeless.

She told me, "You wouldn't believe what the needy are like. They come in and say things like, 'Well, I am a vegetarian'."

Unbelievable. I can't imagine how much blog material I would have if I ever got out of my house and perhaps worked with the public. Alas, as it stands, I have to get most of my material vicariously.

I can't find the link now, but this reminded me of a story I read detailing how the Seattle homeless get gym memberships to tackle "obesity".

Only in America.
