| Yesterday, a woman called our house (My parents weren't home) and said she had no idea who I was but she had been told by someone-she couldn't remember who- that I give money to people like her. The woman said that she and her huband had nine kids and had moved to a desert in the Middle East. Now they were having difficulty supporting themselves because, well, they had nine kids and moved to the middle east. She figured I was her best bet to get money. She basically asked if I would support her family for a LONG period of time. If you have nine children and think its a good idea to move to the desert, it is fair to say that you are a dumbass, or bad decision maker. So the question at hand was this: If I were to give her money, would she be more likely to a) use it to feed and educate her children, or b)Grunt out nine more kids and move to a dislodged glacier floating in the Artic? The interesting part of the conversation came after I nicely declined her invitation to fund the nonstop production of doomed kids. She got mad at me. AT ME. Apparently she analyzed the situation and came to the conclusion that the root cause of her problem was the total unwillingness of total strangers in other countries to give her money. And her answer to this was to get mad. You might be wondering, as I was, whether this woman was actually a con artist who wasn't very good or a trainee. Maybe the experienced con artists were playing a joke on her:"Tell him you're stupid and you need money to produce more people like you." I'll never know the truth. |
