It was just a sign. But then the internet stepped in.
Sam Crowder needed some beer money for College GameDay, so he figured he’d lean on dear ol’ Mom. His sign asked for some beer money and included his Venmo account information.

He was probably hoping for a few bucks from Mom, but he couldn’t have known he would receive over 200 contributions from total strangers. Even Venmo got it on the action and dropped in $50.
“Cheers to Sam Crowder,” Venmo said. “He created the perfect sign to inspire his friends to contribute to his beer fund. To recognize his ingenuity, the Venmo team has ponied up $50 for the cause. Next round’s on us. Well played, sir. Well played.”
Think you can create a better sign? What would you write?
