Well spotted. Word must get around, I have seen the same signs here. While some are having a difficult time with their finances I doubt they would be interested in throwing this guy a few bucks for beer.
He needs a better tactic.

Great capture Alex! I'll bet he takes in more cash than you would think. At least it is a change from the "Will work for food" line.

Ronnie 2¢ from London, United Kingdom

After the humor dies away, it leaves a whole jumble of thoughts we might not otherwise have had. Woks on many levels. Neat find.

I agree with Ronnie, this really does make you think. A great street shot.

Great human study, Alex - I love the shadows which seem to becoming 'at' our thirsty friend.

I gave a guy some money who had a similar sign. Beer is an anti-depresent, and he no doubts needs a beer like many of us from time to time.
