Okay, so this story is about a man's death. Fine, okay. But everything else in the story is just so unbelievably ridiculous I had to check to make sure I wasn't on THe Onion.

I shouldn't have to explain any further.

What kind of things are offered at Hobo cons? Other than the obvious like soap, food, clean underwear and the rest of the things in life that make you clean.

It's weird. The book he wrote brings up results on Amazon, but how do hobos have kings/presidents or any of the un-hobo-like shit in that story?

GRAND PATRIARCH OF HOBOS.

I'm thinking if you can have a convention and an assosiation, you can probably hustle up a place to live. Call me crazy.

The story doesn't really make sense. Was this man living at a hobo while having an actual financial net worth? He was hopping trains since he was a kid but he also worked during WWII and he founded a Masonary and worked in the cement trade. How do you find someone who's just homeless and hopping trains and have them write a book? How do you have a woman who's the head of a foundation who's constituents have no actual net worth? THIS STORY IS DRIVING ME INSANE!
