Line 29:
* There was a literary character ''called'' Bindle, however he doesn't carry one. He's a cockney [[Lovable Rogue]] with a wife and home, but he still subsists on odd jobs and tweaking the nose of authority like any self-respecting hobo would.
* Lazarus Long has one packed for him in the 1910s by a kindly doctor's wife in [[Robert A. Heinlein]]'s ''[[Time Enough for Love]]'', though he re-packs it soon afterward, as it's actually a liability on the road to look like a "bindle stiff".
** Similarly, a character in Heinlein's ''[[Sixth Column (novel)|Sixth Column]]'', an academic who's both studied hobos and ''is'' a hobo, laid out for other characters a taxonomy of hobos, with bindle stiffs at the very bottom, as a reason for refusing to carry a Bindle Stick when sent out on an intelligence-gathering mission.
