Immediately after seeing the infamous "Ethiopian Scam" etc. thread(s) here, an item at MSNBC (no longer up) looked like a new one:

"Liberian leaves 2.2 million to college"

Gotta be a SCAM!

"The Craft" is what insiders call Freemasonry. (I just happen to know.) It sounds as if the secret handshakes aren't going down too well at festivals.

Foolestroupe, I kinda like the idea of "snogs" at my funeral.   *g*

As for misread threads, I sometimes read the words right, but not the intent.

As in:

Craft stalls at festivals



Just who is this Craft person, and why does he or she stall at festivals.   Inquiring minds want to know.
