Some Scams

Kipton, Nebraska Franklin's Switcheroo A man is tricked into buying his own wife in exchange for the savings built up over thirty long years in the door-to-door ear syringing business.
Little Tidings, Kentucky Five Straight Aces The entire town bets a dollar each that Ecol can't squeeze fifty mice into a brogue. [One of Ecol's only legitimate skills - the secret is: the mice must remain friendly.]
Flobiton, New Jersey L. Jnr. Libbel's Patented Ring Scam Each man in the ring sells his car to the man in front. Ecol takes 10 per cent. Repeat until all men own their original cars. Easy Rider Used Cars & Child Spa disappears during the night.
Gurdsville, South Carolina “The Sting” Ecol dresses as a cop. The cop dresses as a doorman. The doorman dresses as a nurse. The nurse dresses as a butcher. The butcher thinks the nurse is the cop, but the nurse thinks that Ecol is the doorman. The doorman thinks that the cop is the butcher and the cop thinks the nurse is Ecol. No money changes hands, but the nurse is run out of town and Ecol becomes a butcher. Butchery has its own rewards.
Supperton, Ohio “What Indian Burial Ground?” The 30,000 residents of Supperton converge on Pinto Grandi Recreational Plan to take part in a reenactment of the book of Leviticus only to find themselves double booked with the Cone City Pagan Gaystock — an alternative lifestyle and heavy metal fair. In the ensuing confusion, Ecol is granted planning permission for Pinto Grandi's first Mega-Casino.
