Woman Panhandling for Breast Implants - as part of the news series by GeoBeats.
A woman in Akron, Ohio is panhandling on the street corner, not because she’s hungry or homeless, but she says she needs breast implant surgery. Chrissy Lance is a 37 years old college student and single mother who works as a bartender, making 23 dollars an hour, but she can’t afford a boob job, so she got a panhandling license and took to the street, where she’s raised about 90 dollars. She’s looking to raise 5 thousand dollars total for the surgery by wearing a bikini and holding a sign that says “Not Homeless. Need Boobs.” Lance said: “I see people panhandling every day, so why not panhandle for boobs. It’s original. I’ve never seen anybody do it.”
Hobos have had a culture of their own for a long time.
Some of the most memorable signs asking for money use humor to make light of the situation. Instead of coming up with a sorrowful story, some people find it more effective to be up front with a “Why lie? I need a cold beer” sign.
What’s the funniest panhandling sign you’ve ever seen?
