Dog-In-Can Scam


There's a new Gypsy scam making the rounds- the Dog-In-a-Can Scam. It's like this:

The con artist approaches the mark with an offer to sell them a purebred dog on the cheap.
The dog, the scammer explains, has not hatched yet and is still inside it's egg, which looks just like a can of Kroger soda. They show the mark a photo such as the one above -see, they'll explain, your dog will look just like that.
Just wait until the next full moon and shake the can under a yew tree in a graveyard at midnight.
Pop the top- voila! -puppy comes out!

When the mark does this , they become wet, sticky and betrayed. There is no puppy.

Of course, professional biologists will know that dogs do not in fact hatch from eggs at all- that the dog is actually a Mammal and that a puppy is deposited in the cabbage patch by the Stork in the usual mammalian method of reproduction.

Make a note of this.
