    No, didn't think so. So why don't we start giving them cat food since it comes in those cans with the tabs that are easy to independantly open?

    Would that encourage them to get jobs?

    I thought the question was "Do can openers have homeless people?". Can openers gotta have somebody to be able to do their job right.

    "No, didn't think so."

    You don't know what they have in those bundles some of them carry around. They could have all the can openers they could ever need. The world will never know.

    Amazing.

    I think perhaps they could, after all how would they open up those canned foods they get all the time ;) .

    I know you're kidding but I'm going to answer like I take this seriously. [face_plain]

    Some may. Some may not. The reason we donate canned food is because it's for the homeless shelters and other such institutions which probably do have can openers.

    it probably wouldn't be very hard to open a can with a knife, even if you don't have a can-opener.

    That was exactly my point...we should STOP giving them those cans!

    Give them cat food? I hope this is a joke.

    I was homeless for six months because idiots thought that the Gulf War Syndrome was contagious. I lost my job, without money, soon lost my apartment and then skid row buddy!


    Be for real.

    How's that legal? I would have sued somebody's pants off.

    I was contracted by the federal gov't with a private security firm to provide physical security for Senator Cochrans/ U.S. Attorney here in Ms.

    My supervisor was jealous of my work performance and was trying to find a way to fire me; so, I started to record my phone calls and recorded him firing me over the phone.

    I went to the EEOC and got a letter of right to sue and ended up with a nice settlement.

    He ended up lossing his wife and job from what I hear.

    I've been through enough mud in my life time that I would have to be paid to get near it now.
