A bald accountant in a suit and glasses sits at an office desk, holding a small coffee cup, gesturing as he advises two clients seen from behind. A chart on the wall reads FINANCE with a rising line. He says: "Imagine this cup holds all your daily income. You fill the cup up as best as possible each day, then bring it back to put in a larger cup." The caption reads: "Our accountant advised us as to the optimum panhandling strategy" -- revealing the sophisticated financial advice is actually a plan for begging with a cup. Votey: a man holds out an empty cup, shaking it (RATTLE-RATTLE-RATTLE) and clearing his throat ("*Achem*"), demonstrating the panhandling technique.
