The Fourth Trivial Pursuit and Fact or Fiction catch up thread - Jangar - 07-11-2005
Let's start with a trivia question
What did a crude chalk drawing of a top hat on a building or sidewalk signify to a wandering hobo during the Depression era? How about a drawing of a cross?

A top hat meant "kind gentlman lives here".... a cross indicated "religious talk will get you a meal here."
