My Hobo Agenda  

Posted by Ryan Woods

I've been crunching some numbers today and I've come to some amazing realizations. I think that the homeless community will be blessed by my research.

Today I stumbled across a nickel. I thought to myself, "Huh self, a nickel. Cool". But later I thought to myself, "Self, it's no big deal to find a nickel on the ground. In fact, I bet if you were actually searching for nickels one might find even more than one in a day." And thats when I figured that one nickel a day for one year is over $18!!! If a homeless person saved that nickel every day for a year they would have 18 bucks! Hot diggity, they could buy some smokes, or a few bus tickets. If they did this for multiple years, lets say 55, they would have over $1000 and would be able to afford an apartment for a few months. They would then be out of the rain, off the streets, and would have free cable hook up. Who knows, maybe there would even be a swimming pool involved.

Hurry, someone publish this crap. Lets spread the word and bless those homeless peeps up on outa here.

And that is my Hobo Agenda.

That's more than I make in an average year, good thing my family takes good care of me anyway.

i'd vote for you, Ry. I have to tell you a little story:

there is a sherrif election up here. One guy ran and didn't win. Another guy ran and won. Who is this guy? No. One. Knows. He has never done anything political. Ever. No one can get a hold of him or his wife, or anyone who has... wait... what am i doing! this is the best post ever! I can't waste it here! I'm putting it on MY blog!

..i see you haven't changed your picture yet... i'm waaaaiiiiting....

The homeless community just called me to tell me that they hate you.

i'm going to start dropping nickles, just to get the ball rolling. maybe like, one every other day or something.

im going to follow RM around and pick up all her nickles.

i am going to follow ryan around and take away his calculator.
