Things you've done when you've had no money.Apart from the usual survival rations of beans, white bread and Doll Noodles™, we've all done things to compensate for having no money. Personally I spent 6 months barefoot to save on the cost of shoes. What pathetic things have you done when the cash ran out?

Dangerous but lucrativeOnce when I was about 18 and at 'Canada's Wonderland' - a massive amusement park with excellent rides, my friend and I were broke and hungry.
Ignoring the warning signs, we snuck though the fence under one of the rides and forraged through the grass collecting the change that fell out of people's pockets as they were flipped upside-down. We also had to pick through some rather gruesome items too, false teeth and condoms stick in my memory.
Anyway, we found about $20.00 - enough for some hotdogs and funnel cake.
Next week we read a story in the paper about someone who did that and got kicked in the head by someone on the ride. (It was one of those rides where your legs hang down). Anyway, he died, and the girl who kicked him broke her leg really badly.
