I heard of a con artist who advertised a 100% guaranteed way to kill cockroaches, if used as instructed. His dupes received in the post two blocks of wood and the following instructions: "Put cockroach on block A, hit with block B."

Have you heard the one about the con artist who advertised mail order Freemasonry, then congratulated his dupes, telling them that, just by picking up their mail, they had each become W.M. of their own Lodge. . . . . . . . . . . Hang about. . . . That's not funny

I saw an advertisement the other day for the secret of life. It said "The secret of life can be yours for twenty-five shillings. Sent to Secret of Life Institute, Willesden." So I wrote away, seemed a good bargain, secret of life, twenty-five shillings. And I got a letter back saying, "If you think you can get the secret of life for twenty-five shillings, you don't deserve to have it. Send fifty shillings for the secret of life"
