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?

Double conI used to be quite a pot-head in my young padawan days so when I left home for the first time to live in Africa for 6 months, naturally I wanted to find a good supply.
Luck would have it that after a week I found a group from the local village that could get some for me.
We met up and they handed me a carrier bag full of weed. It was only bush weed and full of seeds, but it wasn't bad.
I asked how much and they said 20 Rand.
" 20 Rand?" I said replyed (it worked out to be about £2. Mistaking my remark to mean that I though they were ripping me off they haggled down to £1.40. When I accepted they looked at each other, knowing that they'd just got a great deal.
It was a fantastic situation: they walked thinking how they'd just ripped me off, and I walked off with a carrier bag full of smokeable weed for less than the cost of a pint. If only they knew how much that would have sold for in UK!
