Sometimes, it's the unusual sign that gets the attention (and gets money!). One weekend, I saw a man in his twenties standing at an intersection with a sign that read: "Too lazy to work, need money for beer". People were stopping to give him money!!
True story, one Christmas Eve our son had been working overtime at his factory in Largo Florida, doing end of the month stocktaking, on his way home he saw a guy with a sign being honest needed money for beer, Jeff at the time was driving a beat up old jeep he had since college and he was dirty from work, he went into the gas station and bought a six pack and offered it to the guy, the guy looked at Jeff and his car and said, " you need it more than I do" and refused to take it.
