The latest scam

WARNING.
There are constantly new scams being devised, and my readers should always be
on the alert to avoid being taken by unscrupulous critters, hoomans or
otherwise.
It pains me
to have to report that Dad fell for one of these scams, but it’s true. Dad is
pretty cynical, and this is the first one that has gotten by him.
It occurred
when Mom and Dad visited Colonial Williamsburg and Dad, being a trifle hungry,
bought a sandwich made from a large biscuit which contained cheese and Virginia
ham. When he sat down to eat it, a fat squirrel came stumbling up begging for a
taste.
Of course,
Dad being Dad, broke off a small piece of plain biscuit and threw it to the
squirrel. The fellow starting groping around feeling for it but couldn’t seem
to get his paw on it. Dad immediately thought the poor guy was blind and
couldn’t find it, so he took his pocket knife and cut off a larger piece of the
biscuit which contained some cheese and ham, thinking the squirrel’s sense of
smell would help him locate it.
At that
point, the squirrel immediately tucked both biscuit pieces in his mouth and
scurried away leaving Dad feeling like a fool for falling for the ruse.
I am adding
the crook’s photo below to prevent others from being taken in by this trick.
If the
culprit wishes to prevent further embarrassment, I am willing to remove his
photo if he will give back the second piece of biscuit containing the ham and
cheese.
