First person to ever flimflam me was Billy Graham

1. Interesting story.

Just out of curiosity, who was the last person to flimflam you?

The very best cons leave you thinking that you got something for your money,
or that you almost WON,
and if you just ante up a few more bucks,
you are BOUND to WIN BIG next time.



I grew up in New Orleans, and loved the streets & people in the French Quarter.
Sometimes, I KNEW I was being hustled, but kicked in a couple of bucks anyway just to see how the game played out.
I also love Carnival Midways and State Fairs.
I have been hustled my fair share of times, but never fell for the same con twice.

I am amazed at the number of people who WILL fall for the same hustle or rigged game time after time,
and keep coming back. Just look at the number of people who gamble in Casinos,
accept apologies from people like Jimmy Swaggart,
or buy more than 1 lottery ticket (increases the odds, dont-cha-know).

In addition to Casino Gambling and Mega-Churches, there are MANY other legal Cons in 21st Century America.
*For Profit Health Insurance is one of the BIGGEST.

*Perpetual Political Fund Raising & Everlasting Campaign Season is BIG too.

*The Giant Invisible Hand that magically reaches down from heaven and "corrects" markets is a good hustle too.


DURec.



You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their misdirection & patter.
