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?

Silverstone GP, 1997One stall consisted of a bloke with a large bathtub of ice and water, with lots of cans of soft drink floating in it. His sales pitch was simply, "Ice Cold Drinks!". Fair enough, but...
The Sunday of the race was a warm day and there were 100000 thirsty people there. His bathtub could only hold about 20 cans at once, which he sold within a minute or so. So they were only marginally cooler than when he put them in a minute previously. And they'd been sitting in the sun until then.
Ice cold, my arse.
Hardly a major con, but surely false advertising!
