and the other is....

When my husband and teenage daughter were on a cross-country trek together, their last stop was in Seattle. There were many fascinating sights and people to watch but none so memorable as the panhandler carrying a gallon-size bucket. In large letters, printed on the side of his container were the words "No Canadian Coins!" My daughter looked at her father and said, "So much for Mother's advice that Beggars Can't be Choosers."
