smart beggar?

Ahmed and Hamid were both beggars at several motorway services.

Ahmed drove a Mercedes, lived in a mortgage free house and had a lot of money to spend .

But Hamid brought in only 2 to 3 pounds a day. Curious, Hamid asked Ahmed how he managed to bring home a suitcase full of £10 notes every day, day after day.

"Look at your sign," Ahmed said. "It says, 'I have no work, a wife and six kids to support'.
Britons who see that don't feel as if they have accomplished anything by giving you money. You will still have no job and a large family. Now look at my sign."

Hamid looked and Ahmed's sign read:

"I only need another £10 to move back to Pakistan."
