the prince of nigeria

you get an e mail from
a nigerian prince
who wants to put a million
pounds into your
account. seems there's
been some sort of
acrimony between
he and his siblings
concerning their massive
inheritance. of course
you'd get a cut just for
being a swell guy,
helping him out as
it were. sure you write
back. but first, as a
sign of good faith, place
a thousand dollars in
cash in a paper bag
under the third bench
north of the reflecting
pool. next to the hot
dog vendor. once you do
that, i'll let you deposit
your money into my
account. of course, this
gets no reply. silence.
so you write back, prince
my dear prince, where
have you gone.
