Things San Fran does better than Dublin No. 1: Homeless people

Homeless people in Dublin come in two forms; ‘out of it and aggressive’ or ‘just out of it’. Homeless people in San Fran, on the other hand, only come in one variety: Downright Hillarious!

They have signs like:

‘Need money for prostitutes’

‘Need money for alcohol research’

or my own personal favourite

‘Ninjas stole my family, need money for Kung-Fu lessons’

There’s also the guy who made a robot suit out of cardboard and follows people around making robot noises(as opposed to Girraffe noises, obviously)

Take today for example, I had just lied my way through an interview with Starbucks when this guy walked up to me in the middle of Union Square and said: “hey man, I bet I can tell where you got them shoes”. I wasn’t in the mood so I tried to bat him away with disinterest but he persisted and eventually convinced me to accept a $1 bet. “I’ll tell you where you got’em, you got em on yo feet!”.

Bastard cracked right me up
