I went down to Boston yesterday and I was going to see what I wnated to have for lunch then two guys in red clothes and a bunch of little munchies and people around them attracted me so I went checked it out. It was two young guy setting up for a juggling show, the whole thing was pretty entertaining and exciting, they did a good job of attracting more people to come and made us want to stay and watched more.
At the end, they were going to performance the hardest part - they picked 6 strong guys from the audience to hold on tight the ladder and they climbed up, used the arms to lift up their whole body. Before the did that. They said something like what they earn for living by doing that in all the countries? It all dpeends on you guys generous, if you take out 3-5 bucks, that's what they are hoping, 10 bucks will make their day! Everybody silent!... Then they said "Now it is not funny anymore huh?"
After they finish the last amazing part, everybody was going to take off. Then they were like "Hey hey hey..." I don't know what happen after because I went get my lunch :-p felt kinda bad for not paying them because I did watch the whole thing, but there were couple bucks left in my wallet so I gotta pay for my lunch...
Would you pay for that if you did watch the whole thing? How much have you ever paid for it before? Honestly, it is pretty entertaining and save you big bucks on buying tiket for watching the circus show, different animal but cheaper way to get entertaining and laughing. What do you think?

i would think that was a hard way of making a living. i imagine it's even harder on them w/the economy the way it is. i don't imagine they are making too much but who knows. if i had been there & watched it i probably would have given them something if i had it to give.

Yes, they do take a very high risk of getting injured or gain very little money or none from the audience.

If i was their i would have put a few dollars in, especially if i was entertained. Those men were probably trying to make a living. and they did make your day a little brighter by watching them, at least they are out their trying to make a living, and not just standing on the street corner begging for money. and i am sure that they would have been happy if you would have just put in the change that you had in your pocket. It might have made the difference to them weather they got to eat that day or not.

Ya. i would pay them. Because they genuinely do some act instead of just asking for
money. I will check out my pocket and give the money which i will be able to afford for.
