My encounter with the Bushman

Walking around Fisherman’s Wharf during a recent trip to San Francisco, I was scared silly when a homeless man jumped up from behind some bush twigs yelling “arghhhh!” I thought it was just one among several homeless people in the city that came up with a whacky idea to make money. I later found out it was the world famous Bushman!

What out, hes gonna get ya!

What out, he's gonna get ya!

According to Wikipedia his name is David Johnson and he reportedly “makes $60,000 on a good year.” They claim crowds wait around to watch him in action. The day we went, it was just three of us that were traumatized on our way to book a tour to Alcatraz. Coming from Philly where the homeless aren’t as much fun, I was kind of pissed of. But I’m happy to be one of the lucky ones to screech at this San Fran fixture.

It may not be as much fun now that you have been warned, but I definitely recommend visiting the guy who will creep up somewhere along the piers.
