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?

ha!Thanks for reminding me! I'd long since forgotton a minor annoyance I once attempted to perpetrate on a mate of mine along those lines. We had a habit of trying to annoy each other, the object being to get the most annoyance with the least substance, ie, the more trifling, pointless or ironic the prank, the better. Great fun.
The one this reminds me is when I sent him a letter with no stamp (he lived a couple of roads away, and we hung around with the same few others pretty much every night). When he opened it, it said nothing more than "Dear hick, please can I borrow a stamp? Regards, Hayseed". It was spoiled slightly by the posty not charging him for the postage, but hey-ho.
Must try it again sometime :)
