Hey, E Dwight Thomas could have used the NYS Lottery slogan "All You Need Is a Dollar and a Dream" about a hundred years before they did. Since ED Thomas is long gone, I will step up and fill his role - free of charge. Saucy Bessie VanHorn sounds like just your type: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kzoo Posted July 31, 2020 Share #10 Posted July 31, 2020 And now we know where the Nigerians learned their trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Come Lately Name Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share #11 Posted July 31, 2020 8 minutes ago, Kzoo said: And now we know where the Nigerians learned their trade. Well, this does date to the same era when PT Barnum made his quote about suckers. (I had a buddy who used to say “PT Barnum underestimated the birth rate....” 🤣) This scam went on for a couple of years. By the time the post office shut it down, E Dwight Thomas apparently had enough business to involve three more guys. A couple of days ago, I found another article where he took his show on the road and tried to set up shop somewhere else. There is another full page article where a reporter from the paper went to visit Mr. Thomas in person. It’s pretty funny and there are accompanying graphics that are a scream - Cupid with a fishing rod and a line which extends down the page to several lovely young ladies standing on the hook.... Sadly, it’s a full page PDF and I can’t figure out a way to post it that would be legible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
