Top Cutlines:
1. Tomorrow’s sign: “Please help me. My life’s the Pitts’” — John Austin.
2. The next day he had more success with a sign that read: “Tom and Katie just had a baby and I need money to buy them a remote island to live on so we never have to hear about them again” — Family Phil.
3. The sign didn’t deliver the results the man wanted and he realized that when it comes to buying celebrity baby gifts, most folks think beggars can’t be choosers — Sider.
