Fishing vs Begging - Which skill is more useless?

[DinoTriz]

As a wretched, homeless, one-eyed dwarf that lives in the sewers and under the floorboards of Freeport I need something to do other than scaring the local children.

Fishing vs Begging.

Which one should I level up?

Begging sounds awesome. I remember thinking it was a legitimate skill, only to be one-shot by guards back in '99.

Can you make any money with it?

Help me roleplay as an unwashed vagabond. I suppose I should start on my Alcohol Tolerance as well.
