Overheard in D.C.: Let's Think About This
There are a lot of homeless in D.C., and they have many ways of panhandling. Some just sit quietly, some will tell a joke, some have a sign or talk about how they need money for a court date or to get to work. Some of them probably have legitimate reasons for asking for money. And then there are strategies that probably won't work.

Homeless woman to man: "Gimme some money mister, my legs don't work."

Homeless woman: "I SAID MY LEGS DON'T WORK, ASSHOLE!"
After the jump, romance, weird questions, and college kids doing what they do.
