Busking: Lines delivered in a hat pitch. Good hat lines are both funny and convincing. Some examples of standard hat lines:

  • "If you don't pay me, I do understand. I'll just go back to my old job. Selling drugs to your children."
  • "Now, you may think that I'm only asking for a little bit of money. But if everyone here gives me a little bit of money, I will have a lot of money."
  • "Kids, if mommy and Daddy don't give you at least one dollar to put in the funny man's hat, it means they don't love you."
