Once upon a time there were 5 guys watching Monday Night Football. They were hungry and broke. Several of these fine gentlemen are confidence artists, so they set upon scoring some free food from a nearby White Castle hamburger shack.

One of the guys secured a twenty burger meal with fries for some local sheriffs who were organizing donations for a celebrity basketball charity game. Supposedly, retired Cubs, Sox, Bears, and Bulls players were going to play hoops with the sheriffs to raise money for underpriviledged children. The sheriffs would place a banner ad in the gymnasium during the game if the restaurant would feed the sheriffs soliciting donations. False contact information was likely given.

Another, calling the same restaurant, called to complain about a drive-thru order, and did so angrily and convincingly. The manager on duty kept asking for a ticket number, but eventually found an order that must have been the screw-up, and gave our friend number 4793 to come and pick up a corrected order.

Those two and a driver went there, one through the drive-thru, (4793) and one inside at the counter. (the donation) At the same time. Could they really be so gullible? Two identical free orders at the same time, for completely different reasons?

As it turns out, yes, they were that gullible. I guess you could say they bought it.

Too bad all those guys bet on the Redskins, or they might've come out ahead.
