What I really cannot fathom is how a certain guy (not sure if it's this guy 
or another one) has been pulling the same scam year in and year out without 
apprehension (as far as I know) for about the past ten years.  He is 
shortish with dark (black?)  "greased" hair, hard to tell his age but 
maybe around 40,  and a sort of old and somewhat dated suit jacket.  I 
saw him try to pull something similar on a student/neighbor's dad 
as dad was helping her move her stuff one year.  He needed 
money for something or other and said he would leave a computer monitor as 
collateral.  Dad was very quick, introduced himself, shook scammer's hand, 
and gave scammer his card.  Boy did scammer scoot out of there fast when he 
looked at Dad's card and saw that Dad was a member of New Jersey's 
finest, i.e. a cop.

This goofy white kid answering the below description showed up at my door this afternoon, only this time he was carrying a red-tipped cane, claimed to be blind, and was selling subscriptions to the New Yorker magazine. I immediately sensed that something was wrong with this picture -- I mean, if he had been selling subscriptions to Cosmo or Better Homes and Gardens it might have seemed slightly more realistic, but the effete, ineffably refined NEW YORKER magazine? Well I mean to say. 
 
Suspecting that the kid wasn't really blind, I said "OK, yeah, sign me up", then I tossed a dinner plate at his head. Sure enough he put up his hands with lightning speed and caught it just before it smashed into his medulla oblongata.
 
"Well hello bright eyes!" I said, waiting to see what his reaction would be.
 
He took off his dark glasses and broke down in tears, bawling that his father didn't love him and that he had just got off of the psych unit at HUP, where he had been eating mashed bananas with a plastic spoon for three weeks after freaking out on meth while preparing for his midterms at Penn. At that point something struck me very weird, and I remembered that this was just a rerun from the second season of "Hack."

Yeah, that was the one that hit farragut a week or so ago. He must be 
deranged to keep this up in the neighborhood. Perhaps I'll see him again 
one dark and cloudy night.
