Hobo Sign: Untrustworthy

Beverage: Sam Adams Summer Ale

Toast: cheers

 

Today's hobo sign is the mark of the untrustworthy. A lot of the signs, you can kind of deduce. Like the sign for a plum handout spot is an X: x marks the spot. The sign for a woman looks like a woman (albeit one with a giant dress). I don't get this one at all.

It only got more mysterious when I looked on line to see what it represented. There were a number of other similar signs for the same thing. The symbol itself was untrustworthy! Some like a flat crescent with a cross or a line on the right. None of it seemed representative of anything.

Whatever. I say: where are the new hobo signs? The marks required for the modern vagabond?

Maybe I'll make those next:

  • Beware of vegans
  • Open wifi network
  • Security cameras are fake
  • White guilt

Perhaps that's a little cynical. Hobos prolly use QR codes these days.

Anyhow: I'm going to unwind with this Sam Summer, play some Drawsomething and get ready to fly out early tomorrow.

Can't wait!
