Last week I posted about the symbols used for washing clothes, Laundry Symbols". Now I found some symbols used by hobos. For me these symbols are difficult to understand but the descriptions are great. Their lifestyle is so interesting.
Try a full screen and louder. I had to put it on maximum sound level.
You made me remember a cute story from about 40 years ago. Almost every place I lived has been fairly near railroad tracks. Our neighbors were having a real problem with hoboes stopping by for a handout. Then we found the markings on the side of the house. Two vertical lines let them know that they would be given food there. After the lines were removed the hoboes did not stop there any more.

ReplyDeleteI read somewhere that the word "hobo" comes from combining the first two letters of each word in the phrase "HOmeward BOund."
