A double-sided piece, found not bought. Technically not a panhandling sign but I couldn't resist collecting & exhibiting this. I'm not all that interested in laughing at people who are unusual or who can't spell correctly. But I am interested in the range of content that people are compelled to communicate, and how they manage to communicate it.
