Bum More In Shape Than Most Affiliate Marketers

October 8th, 2009 by Barman Leave a reply »

So there was this Denver meet-up last week. Me and a few guys went outside for a smoke, only to think we were going to get hit up for money by this raggedy bum.

But he started his pre-sell – “Listen fellas, I’m not your average bum. I work for my keep. I’m an out of work roofer that’s been burned by a few contractors. I’ll tell you what – I’m going to do. 51 one-handed push-ups in under a minute.”

So we stood there like WTF, this guy can’t be serious. So we took him up on the offer.

Then this guy proceeded to do 51 push. One handed. In under a minute. With a cigarette in his mouth.

Then we gave him $6. We couldn’t get video to work, but he told us we can find him on youtube haha.

    Did he then put on a hat and whack you across the legs with a dipstick and say “now that’s thinking with your dipstick laddy!”?

    That old guy looks familiar. I wonder if he’s future-Barman?

    Some homeless dude approached us in NYC with a similar offer. Andrea S. fucking recognized the dude from like a year before!

    Some of these guys likely make a decent living out of these hustles.

    He might do better with a “How to do 51 pushups in 1minute and impress women” ebook.

    Nice share.

    I guess you’ll snap him up for protection.ppc.bz now.

    If I could do just one of those pushups, I would make you pay me twice that.

  11. Steve says:

    Quite impressive. Surprised he didn’t get pissed you only gave him $6. The beggars in my town hate the $1 hand outs. The start now by asking for a five.

    Dude was a stud. Puffing smoke like a freight train with a bum leg hanging awkwardly to one side, veins bulging from his neck to the top of his head, it was a sight for sure.

  15. Those push ups sucked. His elbow never even came close to 90 degrees until the last push up. You shoulda kicked him in his bum-ass-knee and stole his cigs.
