Years back when I worked in downtown Cleveland I'd see an old fella in a wheel chair with a cup of pencils. People were always giving him money for the pencils. This went on for over a year, same guy, same location, same cup of pencils, every day he just sat there and collected coins.

One day I was running late and went by the location about 6pm. Was very surprised to see a chauffer and a limo picking up the pencil pusher.
Sure wish I could have followed them to see where he lived.

Pencil business must have been very good.
