Hoboes

I think that there's a lot of confusion among today's youth about hoboes. Most kids today think that a hobo is any old homeless person. That is just not true. While hoboes were homeless, they worked for their money or food, whereas a bum bums for it. The word "hobo" is derived from the words "hoe" and "boy," because hoboes would often carry their own hoes. Yes, hoboes were noble creatures, traveling our great land, lending a helping hoe where they could, perhaps even casting a little hobo-magic along the way.

N.B. Caine from "Kunf Fu" was technically a hobo, though he did not carry his own hoe. "Kung Fu: The Legend Continues" had no hoboes, and was thus a far inferior show.
