> new orleans ... the ones that 'tell you where your shoes are from'
I didn't realize how localized these scams are. NOLA is exactly where someone tried to pull that on me. I don't know if it was a scam really, he was in no position to collect if I didn't enjoy his joke.
I told him it wouldn't be fair of me to take the challenge, because there was no way he could possibly be correct. He kept trying with some rewordings, but I stuck to my position and he moved on.
At the time, I wondered idly where the conversation would have gone if I had been more receptive, but I have to admit I never considered the obvious elementary school-level joke!
