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?

Ieeee haven't eeeeeeten for threeeeee dayyyyyss..When I lived just behind Neumarkt in Cologne, I used to have to walk down a street that was an infamous panhandler area to get to my flat.
One of the beggars was a Turk, who would come up to you, and in a pathetic squeaky voice, would beg for money, as he hadn't eaten for three days.
The first time he did this, I happened to have been to the backerei, and so I handed him a roll. He hasn't eaten in three days, right? Wrong. He threw it in the gutter and walked away in disgust.
Thing is, he wasn't too intelligent and kept approaching me. And I kept taking the piss out of him. "Three days? It was three days yesterday. And the day before that. Or are you nominating three specific days in the past month?"
