It’s a sad reality that there are people living on the streets, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have a sense of humor about their situation. It seems homeless people understand as well as businesses do that it’s not the product, it’s how you market it. That’s why so many people on the street have created such great signs.
Some of the standouts include: “Family kidnapped by Ninjas- Need $ 4 Kung Fu Lessons” and, “Will cuss out your Mother-in-law (for a dollar).” But my personal favorite is “I slept with Lindsay Lohan last week- Please Help.” Take a look at these great signs that are sure to earn some money for creativity alone above.
