We had a similar case locally. A young woman claimed to have been
suffering from breast cancer and ovarian cancer and had set up some sort
of charity benefit for herself, or someone set it up to help her out.



We had a guy at work who claimed to have cancer. The guy was a
pathological liar at the best of times. I only saw him once every few
months because he worked in another facility and he was on sick leave a
lot. It was always interesting to talk to him because he was very bright
and made up really good stories. He always seemed to gravitate to me
because I was a bit of an outsider, and, being a bit of a psychopath, he
saw me as a chance to sound off and to get some attention for himself.

No one knew what sort of cancer he was supposed to have. I was able to
get a little more information from him. Since he only saw me once every
few months he had trouble keeping his story straight, so over the course
of a year of so he told me three different types of cancer.

We had one of those here as well. Pretty awful on so many levels.

Wow, sounds like someone collects (and wants to continue!) a gubb'nent
check every ****ing month. That's what I got from the article.

She used the forgery to scam her employer. That makes it a crime.

Boy, a real attention whore.

But St. Louis could be worse. On that page was a link to a story about
a 21 year old Houston man who had impregnated his 11 year old
neighbor. Apparently he waited for her to come home from school every
day, then had sex with her while her mother was at work.

Of course it was in "no mo gubmint", second amendment warping, Texas.

In his defense, he probably didn't realize that an 11 YO could get pregnant..



That's the best laugh I've had so far today.
