I am embarrassed to say that, when I was a kid, we did the same on Sunday
afternoons in Providence, RI. That was years ago and I am not signing my
name.
Now I pull my kid's teeth out to get money from the Tooth Fairy.

A slightly automotive but brilliant scam.....
*A Well-Planned Retirement* *From The London Times:*
Outside the Bristol Zoo, in England, there is a parking lot for 150 cars
and
8 coaches, or buses.
It was manned by a very pleasant attendant with a ticket machine charging
cars ?1 (about $1.40) and coaches ?5 (about $7).
This parking attendant worked there for all of 25 years. Then, one day, he
just didn't turn up for work.
"Oh well", said Bristol Zoo Management - "we'd better phone up the City
Council and get them to send a new parking attendant..."
"Er ... no", said the Council, "that parking lot is your responsibility."
"Er ... no", said Bristol Zoo Management, "the attendant was employed by
the
City Council, wasn't he?"
"Er ... NO!" insisted the Council.
Sitting in his villa somewhere on the coast of Spain, is a bloke who had
been taking the parking lot fees, estimated at ?400 (about $560) per day at
Bristol Zoo for the last 25 years. Assuming 7 days a week, this amounts to
just over ?3.6 million ($7 million)
And no one even knows his name!
