That's exactly why the laws need to be enforced, exactly how many homeless forgers do you think a national park can support? The article really didn't get into details exactly how he survives, does he forge for berries?


Ah, yes, the distant choirs down to the seaside. Makes me nostalgic, yes it does.

And homeless forgers - God forfend! If someone forges for berries, does that that mean that he/she presents fake berries to Mother Nature? She's an ornery old 'Un - I wouldn't even try to pass off a forged berry to the old gal. She's apt to turn you into mulch, like as look at ya ...

Gotta watch out for those violent players, especially if there are two of them fiddling around. "Dueling Fiddles", perhaps?
For some reason this reminded me of Miss Emily Litella's editorial about "violins on television"

Once at work one of the guys sent out an email to everyone about there being too much fowl language going on. I replied with something to the effect of "Caw. Tweet tweet. Chirp". He didn't think it was funny.
