From Wikipedia: at current hobo conventions “The Hobo Jungle is open to the public.” Wouldn’t it be by definition? Guess they have strict admission requirements.
How about “Rule 16: Don’t cross national borders to do this. That doesn’t make you more special.”
Well, at least back then tramps didn’t demand free condoms from the government.
Where did this convention happen? I mean, was it out in a field somewhere? If not then how could they pay for a location? I imagine a pasture filled with lean-to tents and the speakers getting on their soapboxes to create these rules. And by soapboxes I mean soapboxes.
I don’t get that Rule 34 stuff about hobophobia.
The definition I once heard is that a hobo dreams and wanders, a tramp works and wanders, and a bum drinks and wanders.
