There exists a man who busks. We call him “The Thinking Busker of Everywhere” because we have no imagination and can’t think of anything better to call him. If you’ve ever thought someone was following you and then realized that they weren’t and then thought they were and then realized that they weren’t and then thought that they were and then realized that they weren’t and then realized that you’ve spent 16 years wondering about it, you need to sort that out because it’s not a good way to live at all, at all. So, The Thinking Busker of Everywhere always sings the same song called “Please give me some spare change for I am the busker and money I have not got”. He doesn’t as much sing it, as follow people around and scream at them. Most people tell him that they have no change so he’s decided to take it to the next level and modernize his operation:
Credit cards are the bane of small businessmen everywhere! I think he may be moving in the opposite direction of many businesses that now only take cash.
Maybe he’s becoming The Over-thinking Busker of Everywhere!
Pardon me if I seem to brag, but we have some of the worlds greatest buskers here in New York City.
Where else can you hear a fine jazz combo, mariachi band, Andean band, opera singer, African drummer, violinist or even paint bucket drummer (don’t laugh; some of them are pretty good) while waiting for a subway or transferring from one train to another — or just walking down the street?
In my wildest imagination!
I never have change and hence welcome this innovation.
Sure I claim tax back on what I give him. Wait a minute, maybe I shouldn’t be saying this here!
And you can feel sure his device meets the latest security requirements – NOT
Not only did I give him my credit card, I told him he could keep it because it looked legit to me!
Well he gets an A for Adaptation to human beings unwillingness to part with change? But if he can afford “technology” why must he be a busker?
Good question, I think he thinks of busking as more of a way of life than an actual job or something!
Maybe busking IS his job, and maybe he does better at it than a lot of us who are working “real” jobs.
Maybe you’re on to something there, he does start at 9 and finish at 5!
