Have you carried out a successful con? Perhaps you hustled a few quid off a stranger, or defrauded a multi-national company. Or have you been taken for the wide-eyed, naive rube that you are?

Drugs - real ones......I often get people try to con me (paramedic) for pain relief drugs - mostly morphine or penthrane. You have to be really careful not to give drugs to someone who doesn't need them and even more careful to not with-hold drugs from someone who does need them. After all, even drug addicts can suffer genuine pain.
Anyhoo - to the point: a colleague had a known drug user complaining of chronic pain which seemed a bit suss. She decides to err on the side of caution and prepares to administer a modest dose of morphine. She gets access into a vein and injects 10ml of saline to ensure she's in the vein (standard practice) and the patient - thinking it was the morphine - lets out a big sigh and says "Oh yeah, that's helped heaps".
Needless to say she didn’t bother giving the actual morphine.
