So, I'm at Lowe's this morning getting stuff for the honey-do list and as I'm loading my stuff in the car there's this homeless dude that comes shuffling past with a sign ... heading for the entrance of the parking lot where he'll sit and beg. His sign says "Homeless Veteran. Please Help"


A couple stalls down from me is this kid (I say kid ... probably mid 20s) with a full beard, lots of tats, lots of muscles loading his stuff into a lifted 4x4 and he sees the guy, reaches into his pocket and pulls out a money clip and says to the guy "Hey, brother..." and the homeless dude spins around and starts shuffling back ... with purpose now because he sees the money clip.


When the Homeless guy got about 6 feet from the kid he asks the homeless guy "So, brother, what was your MOS?"


Homeless guy stops cold, confused look on his face (like this kid was speaking German or something). Says "My what?"


Kid says (slower and more deliberately this time) "What was your MOS?"


Bum is still confused and says "I don't know"


Kid stuffs the money clip back into his pocket and says "Man, get the fuck out of here! And lose the sign because if I catch you pretending to be a vet again I'll fuckin' feed it to you."

That's when I noticed the giant globe and anchor on the rear window of his truck.




Anyway, I thought it was funny ... and I learned how to deal with homeless "vets".
