The Bum State?

 

Beach bum is one of the few references in our culture where being a bum is a good thing.  It implies relaxation and spending time enjoying the sun, surf and sand of the vast Florida beaches.  The warm sunny days also provide an exceptional opportunity for bum to work up  a sweaty stink that can turn a blue ocean green killing marine life for miles.  If you think an oil spill is dangerous to marine life imagine the damage of weeks of body oils being released into the sea as a stinky street person bathes in the ocean using sand as some sort of natural body scrub.

Bum Corral

Texas has a reputation of rugged independence.  You would think in a state where jaywalking , telling a cheerleader she is not pretty, or not turning ZZ Top up so the windows in your truck shake whenever it is played on the radio are all acts punishable by death,  and where each child is issued a gun permit along with their birth certificate panhandling and bums would not be tolerated.  This is a state that would load their freeloading bums into a bus and ship them off to California where those feel good, love everyone, granola eating liberals would take them in with open arms and change purses except it would use up gas that they would rather put into their trucks.

Not a bum movie
Bum is not a title most people look to attach to their name, Billy the bum, Harry the hobo, or Terrance the tramp just does not attract as much respect as Dr.  Jones, Rev. Smith or the basic title all men receive just for waking up each day, bathing, not getting caught committing a felony, or having sex with domesticated animals – Mister.   A simple title offered evenly to men of all backgrounds but having extra weight if your last name is Tibbs, Roberts, or Jones.
