One night, I'm working the pumps and a Caddy pulls in. A big, well dressed black guy steps out and asks me to add gas. I do so, and we get into a conversation where he mentions he's a pro footballer. Being young and gullible, I believe him in awe and surprise that I get to wait on a genuine celebrity. (The fact I'd never heard of him notwithstanding). I finish gassing up his car, take his money, and give him his change. He then starts with, 'Can you please change this twenty to a ten, and five, and five ones?'
This reminds me of my step dad who has been gone quite a few years now. Not really a scam but he could have pulled it off had he wanted to.He was a big guy and his name was Jack Hamm. Well there was a football player named Jack Hamm at the time and the clerk at the theater must have known just slightly more about football than me since I didn't even know there was a guy of that name playing at all. Well the clerk got all excited when he told the guy his name for the tickets and he offered him any seats in the house he wanted. This was at Pocono Playhouse many years ago. Well my step dad was a jerk but an honest jerk and told the guy he wasn't that Jack Hamm and I had seen a pic of the football player later and he didn't look anything like him. But he could have scammed any seat he wanted for free.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains. Eat right ,Exercise ,Stay fit, Die Anyway!
