Cheating cheaty cheats
I'm rubbish at cheating. I was asked to help run a stall at a local fair. We sold squares on a treasure map for 10p a go, with the one closest to the "hidden treasure" winning stuff.
I told my sister where it was. I'd not really thought through how obvious this would be. I've kind of avoided cheating since, what have you cheated at? Confess all, it'll make you feel better.

Two of my better cheats:
1: 10 Pin bowling. A two ball volley, using one bowling ball in each hand.
Not only did this fail due to hitting the pin set up mechanism, but also jammed up the lane until some staff guy fetched the ball back.
2: "team building" make-a-fire exercise.
Very crap idea, and bore no relevance to actual skills needed for camping (nobody in their right minds and all four limbs cuts wood in the dark). Luckily, I knew about this in advance, and stuck a little bottle of meths, some cotton wool and a decent lighter in my pocket.
Cue large flames and rather bemused instructor.
