Today I watched a homeless man piss in a cup and then water the shrubbery.
Right on the street corner in front of god and all creation.

I wish I was that cool.

6. Greatness must look after its own legend...
Peeing in the bushes is for average folk. The truly great must always act larger than life, and as if they are constantly being watched. Like that Italian saying: "Faire une cinema".

5. He had too much dignity.
Thus, he had to piss in the cup first.

7. my ex
once peed in a cup b/c the bathroom was occupied and watered my plants with it. They all died. (He thought pee was GOOD for plants. This is but one reason he is my ex.)

This was in college, when cup-urinating was more the norm in some circles. :P

8. Oh yeah ... what a curiosity those
homeless people are. Fun to watch. Why not notice their crazy antics?

Some of us have been or on the way to being homeless. It is not very amusing from the experiential side of it. That is, especially when you tend to "un-exist" in this society at that point.

14. Hey ME. If I offended you I apologize. I don't disrespect the homeless...
I flirt with that fate every time the rent comes due, believe me. I hope things work out for you ... and me.

I checked out your site. Here's a couple of quotes for you:

Question with boldness even the existence of a god; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than of blindfolded fear. Thomas Jefferson

My opinion is that there never would have been an infidel, if there had never been a priest. The artificial structures they have built...for the purpose of pense and power, revolts those who think for themselves. Thomas Jefferson

9. I once saw a guy pee on the Metro
I had read articles about the things the cleaning crews had to deal with, but geesh. Broad daylight, the guy gets up and stands in the corner and just pees down the wall. Disgusting. My friend and I, as well as two older women, were about 10 feet away from the whole thing. ewwwww.

10. When i worked in downtown Boston i used to take the subway
and every now and then someone would just whip it and start pissing on the floor, the worst was when a guy actually pulled down his pants and squatted and proceeded to take a huge dump. It was August of course and about 1000 degrees on the train.

15. I saw a woman take a dump on the floor of a grocery store
I used to work in a grocery store, and one day a woman (with obvious emotional problems) came in, went to one of the aisles and pinched a loaf on the floor.

I wasnb't there watching, but a crowd gathered and I saw the tail end of the display.

I believe the woman was taken to the mental institution soon afterward. She was yelling at everybody in the store, completely unintelligbly.

20. Once upon a time...
I was volunteering for the NY Marathon, this was many years ago. My job was to hand out the little goodie bags to the runners at the end of the race. By the end of the day, there were literally thousands of these things left. They contained a snickers bar, bottle of water, an apple and an orange. Plus various other things like flyers etc.
Anyway, I asked if I could take a bunch of them and give them to the homeless. No problem. I took as many as I could carry.
Walking back to Penn station in the evening, there are many homeless people. The first guy I approached, even before I could get a word out of my mouth, pulled down his pants and proceeded to take a dump. Oy, I moved on, the next guy, about 2 blocks later, seemed to have the same inspiration, just as I was about to give him the bags.
At this point, I didn't know if it was me or just the poop time of the day.
So, I'm really grossed out and this bags are getting heavy, remember I grabbed as many as I could carry. There were a lot and I just wanted to get rid of them now.
I finally reach the subway station level at Penn and I see this lone Homeless guy shaking a cup for change.
I walk up to him, he looks me in the eye, I look him in the eye. He didn't drop trow. I ask him if he's hungry, he reples, "sorry I just had a large meal at the NY Steakhouse."
He was being a wise ass. Considering my current state, being grossed out and carrying all these things, I wasn't very happy.
So I say, "look wise-ass, do you want food or not?"
So he says, "what to you think, jerk-off?"
I then dropped all the food at his feet and said, "fuck you and have a nice day"

Damn, all I wanted to do was help a few folks, I was met with a dump-a-thon, and the don rickles of the homeless me. Sheesh.
