The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for August 26, 2016

Yeah, those lucky homeless people.

Burl and Joy never have pancakes or bacon….

That would take cooking and they don’t have that kind of time, you know.

Yea but they didn’t cook any of this so they’ll eat it. It’s free anyway. I’m surprised they don’t get in line and say they are homeless.

If you think about it, Burl’s actually pretty right. No matter how far down, not matter that your living room was an alley and you bedroom a gutter, would you really ever trade places and become Burl Penny?

That homeless guy is a Lucky Ducky!

Sometimes I wonder why Burl is not homeless with his work ethic

But then I have a co-worker who is selfish and has the work ethics of Burl. Most of our group wonders why his is on the pay roll.

I’ve helped prepare meals for the homeless and we ate with them (even though most of the food was stuff the farmers and stores threw out as they couldn’t sell). One of the places that served daily meals also had some of the homeless willing to volunteer as it not only combated boredom and kept them out of sight of the police who would otherwise hassle them, but got them extra (and the best) food and often other minor benefits as well.
