a big prize
Sometimes I call people and tell them they have won a big prize but they have to answer some questions first. I start out with pretty simple stuff and gradually move deeper down field. After getting an alma mater and job description, one guy told me how he used to steal mail from post office trucks. He’d wait for the mailman to load up and take off down a street and then he’d get in the truck and get a bunch of the mail. “They never lock those trucks!” he proclaimed. Apparently the guy stole thousands of dollars from people by forging signatures on checks he got from the mail trucks. He said he used to steal from McDonald’s delivery trucks too. He’d wait until the monopoly game was being played and then he’d intercept a whole box of the french fries with all the game pieces. He was up to his ears in free drinks and apple pies for a year.
