It's Lonely At The Top

I think that I have just stumbled upon a story describing who may be the biggest asshole in the world.

Karl Kemp, owner of Kemp & Associates, an upscale antiques store on Madison Avenue has a problem. Homeless people have taken residence in front of his shop spending "both their days and nights huddled with their filthy belongings at his business". So how does Mr. Kemp solve this problem? Sue them. Sue the homeless people for $1 Million [That's about 2,000,000,000 soda cans in homeless talk]. That has to be the most absofuckinglutely ridiculous thing I have heard in a very long time. I love it.

So what is it exactly that these homeless people are doing to be sued for 2 billion soda cans?
The squatters “can often be found sleeping on the sidewalk ... consuming alcoholic beverages from open bottles, performing various bodily functions such as urinating and spitting ... verbally harassing or intimidating plaintiff’s patrons and prospective customers."

Now correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that what homeless people are supposed to do? What else are they going to fill all their leisure time with? If you ask me, being homeless sounds like the best job ever. You get to make your own hours. Lots of opportunity to travel. And best of all you can always get the corner office. I think the homeless people should counter sue because Kemp is disrupting their business of being homeless in front of his shop.

If this whole "college" thing doesn't work out I take comfort in knowing that I have options.
