Best Panhandler Sign Ever

True story about Crazy Sally of Socorro NM.

Sally would walk all over town collecting cans in a shopping cart and sometimes if something upset her or set her off she would scream at somebody across the street and carry on. Or she would carry on a conversation with herself. And she did this for several years. Everybody just thought she was nuts.
I worked in a feed store and Sally would come in and borrow money from the owner. She never asked for a handout or any freebies she just needed some money to get by until she got her government check. And then she would come back on the day she said she would and she would repay him the money she borrowed. This went on for the two years that I worked there. She never acted like a nut in the store. The story I got from the owner was that she was a World War II veteran and that she got a VA check each month. So that would mean to me that she was a disabled vet.
She lived out on the edge of town with a retarded guy. They just kind of looked out for each other they weren't lovers or anything like that. Her real name was Dorothy. I can't remember her last name now this was back in the 80s. The crazy was just an act to get people to leave her alone. It seemed to work.
