Hobos, Part One: They Bother Me
Did you ever notice how hobos are always trying to share food with you?
I was recently in a boxcar with Ernie, a hobo, and he had a piece of corn bread which he'd found in a dumpster. He took a big bite with his almost toothless mouth and asked if I wanted any.
"Want some cornbread? It's still good..."
"No thanks," I said, barely masking my displeasure.
Then he started singing "The Wreck of the Old 97."
After a few seconds, he paused.
"Come on! Sing along!"
I declined.
That's the problem with hobos. They're always telling you what to do and trying to push food in your face. And if that isn't fascist, I don't know what is. Why do you think politicians always campaign on the back of trains?
