a suit and some smart shoes and a tie

I would spend the money on booze and then steal the flowers from graveyards, selling them for a pound/euro/dollar each.

You're too skinny to rob people 

 Lul what?  You can't be too skinny to rob people, but you can be too fat for it. Fat people tend to be slow and bulky, not a good robber material.  Sure you meant "you're too fat to rob people",  no?

This might be a situation where my natural histrionic way of dealing with tough things might help me out..I can put the water works on like no other let me tell you.

 My house...sob....burned...sob....down....SOB!

Nope. I've seen fat homeless people who were damn good fighters.

You wouldn't be insinuating that this thread has anything to do with my current situation would you?

If so you're wrong wrong wrong. I'm still working and doing just fine.

It was just smthg that came up in chat and I was bored with all the Dex threads. :P

 You sad 'robbing' in the first post. Robbing and fighting are distinctly different things, no robber would want a robbery turning into a fight. Defies the purpose, sort of.

No, why would i? I was under the impression that it's a general topic 

I'm still working and doing just fine.

- until you turned it into about yourself, as usual...

Back on topic, i had a panhandling tour of the Lowlands (Luxembourg, Belgium, Holland & bits of Germany) back in the 1990s playing mediæval / renaissance music  (i was doing the percussions).  Didn't pay too well, in retrospect it was three weeks of abject starvation and sleeping rough - the townscapes made up for it somewhat  though.

That's how the robbers I know rob people. They beat them and take their cash.

You know real pick pockets? They're quite rare where I am. I've met B&E artists, but surveillance is getting more tricky every year. I haven't seen or heard about anybody I know personally doing a B&E or smash n grab in years.

Glad you understand it's a general topic. Your constructs of fat as they pertain to ability are just strange. Your pattern of fat bashing is usually aimed at a specific target. This is the first time I've seen you pull out a fat joke and aim your weird stereotypes at a hypothetical target, so I thought I'd ask why.

 I considered busking at one point. I'm not good enough on any instrument to make decent cash and people don't want to pay for acapella singers unless there's a 2-4 part harmony and some dancing. Good luck finding other people who care enough to invest the time in smthg like that.

 That's  brutish. Pickpocketry should be a fine art.

Yes, they're all over the place still in european towns.  My ex got robbed twice in two days in Barcelona, they are like wizards.

Then you are not very observant at all. 

Also, they're not jokes usually but reality-based observations.  Stereotypes are created not without a cause.
