If you have troubles you can put up a sign and beg for money and people will feel sorry for you and give you money.
But if you have no troubles you are *really* in trouble because no one will give you money. So he’s putting up a sign about how how he has no troubles and therefore *really* needs help.
Just a nonsensical variation on ‘No home/food/limbs, please help.’ Why do people leave money? Because the briefcase is part of the joke and might cause confusion if it were empty.
I saw it as if he’s so delusional that he has no worries, he needs help. If I meet someone with no worries, I worry about them. How is that possible in today’s political climate? They can’t be paying attention, or they have Empathy Deficit Disorder, or at least a serious lack of regard for their own well-being.
The collection may be for a psychiatrist.
Treesong has it. The rest of you are overthinking it.
I think it is a take on the Notorious B.I.G song “Mo’ Money Mo’ problems”. This guy doesn’t have any worries/problems, so he is asking for money to get some.
I was thinking along similar lines to Steve. Tho I might not say he is asking to get problems, that will just be a side effect, what he is aiming at is just money and he has a clever way of asking for it.
When I used to hang out at the square, there was a street singer who would endlessly sing “”No woman, no cry”
Not the song, just that one line, endlessly.
endlessly sing “”No woman, no cry”
How is that supposed to be parsed? Is it imperative: No, woman! Don’t cry! Or is it declaratory: if you have no woman, you have no reason to cry? Or something else? There is no woman who doesn’t cry?

Presuming you’re asking about the actual song, not this random dude’s version… It’s imperative. The full lyrics make it quite clear.
With this guy, it was more “No woooman, no ???ai”
Cry? Pride? Die?
No, I never got near asking him.
