　 type: Disabled Bum
height: 5' 5"
weight: 100 - 110 lbs.
info: Usually seen during winter time without his t-shirt sitting in the middle of sidewalks holding out his hand while waving his stub. An excellent strategy in using his disability to invoke pity from people leading into donating some money to him. I had the fortunate pleasure of talking to this famous local and he said most women are the ones to give money. Many guys usually give him the finger or scream obscenities, I ask him what he does in response; 'simple' he says, 'I give them the finger back with my stub.'

Rhyming bum [1]
　 type: Insane Bum
height: 5' 9"
weight: 130 - 140 lbs.
info: This bum may confuse you. Is he inebriated? Is he high? Or is he just himself? You never know with rhyming bum. This bum begs for money in the most creative ways I have seen. Reminiscent of Gun Ho from G.I. Joe this bum usually talks in a rhyming fashion. Poses no threat to society, and absolutely enjoyable to watch whether he is soliciting customers at your local coffee shop or in front of my university. Truly, he has managed to marry solicitation with street performance into a beautiful theatrical production of laughter with sadness, happiness with anger, tolerance with irritation. Just don't let him solicit you.
