when they play tennis, instead of terrycloth headbands, the cruise guests wear purple socks tied around their heads, with a chicken bone or two tucked in for good measure (i've actually seen this.)

Why does everyone have the idea that a hobo is a lesser human being than themselves? I am a hobos wife and am proud to be. Hobos are NOT homeless people, they are NOT bums, and most of all, they are NOT the crude people you think they are. My husband and I know many hobos from all over this country and not one of them is like you portay them. They have jobs, YES they work, they own homes (so how are they homeless), they respect this country, people, nature, and God. We only ask, that before you make a statement, that you do your research first. Thank you.
