Dress them as Pirates! (http://www.keynoter.com/articles/2007/08/28/news/news11.txt)
From Monday night's Key West, Florida mayoral debate:
“Key West is a carnival,” candidate Sloan Bashinsky said. “I think we could do unbelievable things with the pirate theme,” touching on his proposal that Key West should exploit its connection to the infamous sailors of the Caribbean by dressing up its city workers or the homeless as pirates.
I see no downside to this! Assuming the homeless get paid, they get a job and, more importantly, they get to wear a pirate costume! It also creates business for those who manufacture and sell pirate costumes, and it increases tourism! It's a win-win situation all around!
And don't forget, September 19th is International Talk Like A Pirate Day! (http://www.talklikeapirate.com/)
