Wit And Wisdom Of Harry The Happy Hobo
I decided some time ago to write a self-help book for starving college students (such as my self) and I plan to sprinkle though out the book snippits from Harry the Happy Hobo. He's essentially a character I came up with that will be crudely drawn through out the book. Usually when people look through a book they only see the pictures and only read the captions.
Here's some snippits of wisdom from Harry The Happy Hobo.
Here's some snippits of wisdom from Harry The Happy Hobo.
- Dented cans aren't just good eats, they're cheap. Just don't dent'em in front of the employees. They don't like that.
- Always ask for a discount, there aint nothin' wrong with trading dignity for 10% off goods and services.
- Keep a student ID on ya at all times, even if you're not a student you can still get some discounts.
- Sandwiches are good and cheap, so get used to them.
- Don't look like you have money, cuz people will be right there to take it from ya.
- Keep the mindset of being poor, people are much more willing to help you out if you ain't got much.
- If someone has enough money to go throwing it away, don't be embarrassed to scoop it up.
- Recycling saves the planet and all that crap, but do it right and there's good money in it.
- Getting drunk at home is way cheaper than at a bar.
- Buy durable clothes, ain't no use in disposable undies.

How many pages have you written so far?
By Anonymous, at Thursday, February 10, 2005 8:03:00 AM
right now it's a series of scattered notes and such. there are some pages but nothing i could claim as "done." i'm still trying to figure out some legal stuff, like, is is ok to suggest that you if you break something to buy the exact same product then return the broken one with your new recipt?

Ok I'm at work....I'm BORED AND TIRED AND USELESS TO ALL HIGH HELL and so I'm surfing YOUR blog...the entire thing, or well most of it anyway...I tried to find the spot when I first "checked you out" and it was around October 28th....I was the ANON commenter on a couple before I actually started my blog....and then it went from there, but this one is really funny.....because we're teasing about sugar mommy and shipping you out here and in 1 month from today you will actually be here! I SO LOVE THAT! Very cool! Ok, yes I'm Internet stalking you now! Scary...run for your life! Ahhhhhh!
it's cool....I won't hurt you...just interested.
