I don't give pan handlers money either; I've known several "beggars" in real life who did it for extra cash when they needed to party that night. I've never offered to give a beggar food instead of money, although my brother did once. He told a guy with a sign that said "Will work for food" that if he'd mow his lawn, he'd take him out to lunch. Guess what? The guy declined. I did see a guy on the street the other day with a sign that said "Really need a beer"; had we been stopped at the light instead of driving, I would have given him a couple bucks. At least he was honest!

I did give some money to a girl who offered to wash my car windows for my spare change. However, it seems she had some sort of pimp or something because as soon as she finished, some guy that had been kinda hanging around walked up to her and started talking to her. Anyone ever heard of a panhandling pimp?
