Will be food for ...

Today makes two guys I've seen now on Sahara — one at Las Vegas Boulevard, one at Rancho — who were working their respective corners, all disheveled, carrying scrap-sized cardboard signs that simply said, "FOOD."

At first I was impressed with the declarative brevity of their pitches. But then I thought: What if it's not a request?

What if it's a ...... label?

As in: "Eat me"?

As in: "I'm tired, broke and homeless, and I'm tired of being tired, broke and homeless. But I'm free, and I'm a good source of protein!"

Maybe Sahara Avenue is some kind of weird cruising strip for cannibals! Just imagine — right there, on one of the most heavily traveled stretches of Vegas, a passage for millions of drivers and pedestrians and tourists every year — dark, unspeakable contracts are being signed in blood right out in the open!

Hello, Anthony Zuiker? Call me! I've got your next CSI episode all ready to go.

You are too twisted for color tv.
