I spent this past weekend in downtown Chicago. Like many large cities, I was frequently approached by people who appeared to be homeless. They’d ask me for a dollar, a cigarette, or to let them shine my shoes. It was the shoe shine guy that stood out the most. He was well spoken and had a great 30-second elevator pitch. He almost had me. If I didn’t have canvas shoes on I probably would have let him give it a try.

So it’s summertime and the livin’ is easy, right? Not for all of us, including the poor blokes (sorry, I guess I’ve been watching too much TV from the London Olympics) we are about to see in the images below. Often times the theme has to do with ladders. This time, except for some crowded inboxes, a rat’s nest of computer wires and a guy covered in oil, the theme is more like “Cleanup on Aisle 4.” Enjoy.

Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.
