Where Can We Put the Homeless?

I was thinking about this bumsickle problem the other day, when I decided against a particular ATM because a vagrant was sleeping there, in the warmth, at ten o'clock on a Sunday morning.  I don't oppose someone's sleeping an ATM if that's the only way to stay alive, but I do quibble with the hour.  By ten on a Sunday, most industrious bums are begging in front of the Dunkin' Donuts or scrounging for cardboard to make their excuse signs for holding up traffic.  Does Boston have adequate shelter for these people on the bitter winter nights?  No?  Could we at least rent some vans and drive them to Cambridge, where they actively seek bums?

most bums, like most people, get up for church on sunday mornings. atheists on the other hand enjoy sunday mornings for the opportunity to sleep in. what you must have here is one of your atheist bums.

Most people go to church on Sundays? LOL Yeah, and people don't have sex before marriage right?

There are some homeless people that are hard working people that had a string of bad luck. However, a good majority of them are addicts or have mental illness. You can't expect them to function like clock work.

Bumsicle does not have a "k" in it.

It's like popsicle.

Right.
Of course it doesn't. Stupid of me.
Maybe it was something subconscious about the grim reaper.

Cream, although he is correct, I think Shawn missed the humor of your post.
