    A company takes out a newspaper advertisement claiming to sell imported hardcore pornographic videos. As their prices seem reasonable, people place orders and make payments via check. After several weeks, the company writes back explaining that under the present law they are unable to supply the materials and do not wish to be prosecuted. So they return their customers’ money in the form of a company check. However, due to the name of the company, few people ever bother to present these to their banks. The name of the company: ‘The Anal Sex and Fetish Perversion Company’.

      That is not a scam, that is an absolutely brilliant idea! Nothing illegal, they have refunded the money. I would cash it, without shame. But I like it, clever.

                Do you make a difference between a joke and a hater’s rant? If yours was a joke or attempt to pulling my leg, my response would have been also a joke of some kind.

                  It is also in a film, I think perhaps Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels.

                      It was indeed: They have lost all the money in a fixed poker games, and have one week to pay very heavy dudes a lot of cash...

                      Tom: Listen to this one then; you open a company called the Arse Tickler's Faggot Fan Club. You take an advert in the back page of some gay mag, advertising the latest in arse-intruding dildos, sell it a bit with, er... I dunno, "does what no other dildo can do until now", latest and greatest in sexual technology. Guaranteed results or money back, all that bollocks. These dills cost twenty-five each; a snip for all the pleasure they are going to give the recipients. They send a cheque to the company name, nothing offensive, er, Bobbie's Bits or something, for twenty-five. You put these in the bank for two weeks and let them clear. Now this is the clever bit. Then you send back the cheques for twenty-five pounds from the real company name, Arse Tickler's Faggot Fan Club, saying sorry, we couldn't get the supply from America, they have sold out. Now you see how many of the people cash those cheques; not a single soul, because who wants his bank manager to know he tickles arses when he is not paying in cheques!
                      Bacon: So how long do you have to wait for a return?
                      Tom: Probably no more than four weeks.
                      Bacon: Well what good is that if we need it in six... no, five days?
                      Tom: Well it was still a good idea.

                      Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

                          There are some Bulgarians there and they have shown Australians the way of the back door force. Feel better?

                                    I agree with Double D it is a brilliant idea. I did a job in Virginia many years ago and an Indian guy I worked with was about to go home and marry a woman that had been arranged for him by his family and he wanted to visit a "Gentleman's Club" as he had never been to one. Long story somewhat shorter when we went to tab out the server asked if we would like a receipt and I gave her a funny look. She said oh all the biz people that hang out here get one so we got one and I just stuck it in my pocket. When I got home my ex wife asked me what the bill for $nn from the something something Steak House was and I just gave her a grin and said "they got the best steaks in VA". :)

                                    I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me. http://www.hq4thmarinescomm.com[^]

                                        In 1986 or 1987 in Alexandria and all I remember is it was close to the hotel. We ate at Mike's Steak house...hmmmmmm, or an oriental restaurant most every night. Been to many years just don't remember...seems like it was ??? steak house and saloon??

                                          A company takes out a newspaper advertisement claiming to sell imported hardcore pornographic videos. As their prices seem reasonable, people place orders and make payments via check. After several weeks, the company writes back explaining that under the present law they are unable to supply the materials and do not wish to be prosecuted. So they return their customers’ money in the form of a company check. However, due to the name of the company, few people ever bother to present these to their banks. The name of the company: ‘The Anal Sex and Fetish Perversion Company’.
