Bums: ATL v. Boston

I hate to admit it, but Boston's bums are much smarter than Atlanta's bums. I walked into the Boston Public Library where they have free internet access. Next to me was a crusty old dirty bum pounding out an email on hotmail, one grubby fingered letter at a time. This means many things. One, this bum can read and write, and had the mental faculties to string together actual sentences. Two, this bum was savvy enough to create a hotmail account, which includes the ability to remember a login and password. Three, this bum had people he needed to talk to, that also used the internet. This is mindblowing folks. Who the hell is a bum talking to on the internet. It certainly made me remember to wash my hands after using the keyboard.
