A "bindlestiff" was another name for a hobo who carried a bindle. The bindle is colloquially known as the "blanket stick", particularly within the Northeastern hobo community. Just then Bugs Bunny comes walking by, toting a bindle and singing "Jimmy Crack Corn". Twelve-year-old Albert Perkins and the elderly Mr. Bindle watch for the pigeons. However, in actual use the bindle can take many forms.
