Reminds me of the guy signing for the deaf at Mandela’s funeral.

Some scams are very funny.

There was an American in WW2 that convinced the army he could speak Japanese and they paid him to create a basic phrase book for US troops. He did it by going to a library and checking out an English/Japanese dictionary. Some of his phrases were utter nonsense.

When I read stuff like this, I wonder who is guarding the hen house? We are truly stupid and non-observant, aren’t we.
