Priceless : )
If you live in Minneapolis, you have noticed the dramatic increase of people asking for money via holding signs telling their full story of impossible sadness on a body lenth piece of cardboard. "Anything you can do to help would be appreciated," is usually the last line. Every major busy entrance/exit of the freeways has at least someone working both sides, and sometimes you notice they are working in teams. The amazing thing is that people are still doing this in the bitter cold of a winter morning or evening. There is usually someone standing by the last light just before Lyndale and Hennepin converge on my way to work, and the new guy's sign with huge, black letters on a flimsy piece of grocery bag that barely covered his face read, "Nothing under 20.00." Priceless, absolutely priceless.

Here, they just sit next to cash points and ask for spare change. The other day, I saw a homeless guy sitting outside the London college of Law (not many people squat in London proper) reading an enormously think book. It was drizzling out.
