I'm driving along a decently busy road this afternoon and get stopped at a light. I spot a man in a red shirt and sunglasses standing on the corner across the street, a bag at his feet and a sign in his hand. Immediately I'm thinking, oh, a homeless person. I processed it a few seconds, but my brain must have realized that a few things were unusual - not normally any homeless in that part of town, he was a bigger-boned guy (not chunky or anything, just slightly bigger), and the sunglasses, which for some reason kept drawing my eye. He was standing and facing in such a way that I could see him clearly from across the street, but he wasn't really in a place or angle that if he wanted something from drivers, that they could reach him. So I glanced down at his sign out of curiosity as I was going through the intersection. I passed too fast to read all of it, but the first part said:
NINJAS KILLED MY FAMILY
XD I am insanely curious to know what the rest of the sign said now, and whether it was really a creative homeless man or some sort of publicity stunt.
