We actually got a credit card with a $15,000 limit using Roscoe's name, and for references, we listed Jeff Hogg, Luke Duke and Cooter Davenport. Amazing.

You probably should have taken the card to a bar in a far away city, opened a tab and partied like rock stars. At the end of the night just walk out and leave the card.

Ahh... BB73 comes in with destruction of government property .. Is that being cheap or is that committing a federal offense. :wink2:

I didn't destroy federal property. I 'increased the value' of a penny to 10 cents. If that could be done now, we'd have a balanced budget.

Thank goodness for the statute of limitations. :biggrin:

Along the lines of the Columbia house story, I lived in a fraternity house for two years in college and guys were constantly setting up BMG accounts with fake names. We would actually still get bills in the mail for accounts that older brothers had made up years back long before we ever moved in.


Also, I used to work on the maintenance crew on a golf course in Ohio for five summers and we used to find all sorts of clubs and equipment all over the course. If it was something very obvious, like a $300 driver, you knew they would come looking for it, so you would turn it in. The clubhouse would keep the items for like 2-3 weeks, and if no one claimed it, the person who turned it in would get it back. The Ping EYE 2 sand wedge in my bag now arrived that way. Irons left around the greens were very common.

Anyway, one day I found this ugly ass pair of Oakley sunglasses when I was mowing a green (not ugly per se, but they were maroon). I actually wore them back into the garage, and one of the other workers was like, "wow, nice shades" and I said, "they are alright, I'm actually thinking of getting some new shades and getting rid of these" To make a long story short, he traded me a $100 pair of Nike sunglasses for shades I found on the course.

Believe me, we were tempted to do just that. We were too chicken to do stuff like that though, for fear that we'd end up getting nailed for it.

There would be all sorts of good tales told then.

so it was wrong to sign somebody else up for playboy and then just take his playboys out of his mailbox?

Son of a bitch, so you are the one who has been stealing my Playboy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:biggrin:

I have a friend who can pretty much get a free gift certificate from any chain type of resteraunt that he wants to. He fills out the comment card and always puts something negative down about the food, or the service, and they always send him a gift certificate in the mail for doing so.
