The Sunglasses Con

Jan 28, 2014 | Uncategorized | 0 comments

You are in a city with crowded sidewalks.  A guy in a crowd bumps up against you and his sunglasses fall off and shatter on the ground.  He accuses you of running in to him and breaking them and then says they were $150 Oakleys and demands you pay him $150 to replace them.  You aren’t buying it.  At this point he asks for $125 and then his price keeps coming down and down.  The point here is while you might not have been sure it was a con initially, it is glaringly obvious now.

The moral of the story is YOU are the sunglasses.  You don’t realize you’re worthless right away after being broken but after awhile it begins to dawn on you.  And as it does (and as you descend lower and lower) society’s lies about you being worth something are expressed in an increasingly ridiculous fashion, and eventually stop altogether.
