Ah, but wait, if Brian tells us how to do this for pennies,
how will he sell his FM splatter box to people in the UK?

Maybe I really could take some lessons from The Griffter.

I have spent years giving people good honest advice,
rather than tell them whatever they need to hear
to part with more cash.


And where has it got me?
I have been refused a job with a retailer, on the basis I
was too honest. As the advert said, they wanted an
"amateur actor" to BS customers.
And then there was the retailer who said that I was
"over-qualified", they were hoping for someone a little
more dumb.

I could even have been an Amateur... but I went and
admitted to having a father.

Speaking of Father; he can lie, cheat, bend reality and
scam his way into anything. I believe that it against his
religion to tell the truth on an application form.
He was once caught out lying in a job application but,
as it was at an estate agents, the unabashed use of the
above methods convinced them that he was the man
for the job.


If only I could be a little more like The Griffter,
maybe I could also live his wonderful lifestyle.
Mmmmm, cheese toasties.
