Last weekend, Charlene and I were in the Beverly's in San Rafael when an employee tried to give us a deal, "just give me $15 and we'll call it even". Uhhhh, sorry, pal, I want to see that transaction go through the register, and I don't care what your sense of economics is or how stupid you think I am, the $.76 cents savings on my part doesn't justify knowingly receiving stolen property. Late last week I saw this sign on the ground near a BART entrance, where the panhandlers often concentrate. Within half a block, down in the BART station, there's an office that'll give you face value for your tickets.
I guess all the really smart crooks are in politics.

I'm often amazed at the "low" level of dis-honesty.. It's not that I'm honest, but I'm not cheap: "Hey, Mr. - Can I hold 50 million in cash please? Just for a minute?"

"Hello! My name is Jonathan Issadore Mbvnge, and my late father was High Commissionaire for the Lagos Area Transit Enterprise (LATE). When he was overthrown during the recent "Half-Fare for Canoes" riots, he had secreted 15 million trips worth of tram tickets in the Nigerian National Chartered Private Commercial Bank Ltd. With your help, I do believe that I can get those tickets out of the country and share the fortune with you......"

Sure.. give me your ABA routing and account number and I'll deposit those funds directly. (and he laughs: he he.. he he...)
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
