memories
With Radcon coming up I figured I would throw out one of my favorite Radcon memories. Becky and I were doing a scavenger hunt one of the items was a LMS Radio or some such. Those are the little hand held walkie talkies that security runs around with. Anyways, we weren't going to go outside the con for the radio since that would be lame. So me being the genius I am hatch a plan.
Being military I have learned a lot about the human psyche and how it works at certain times. If you look like you belong and you act like you know what you are talking about and give just enough details you can become/get into just about anywhere you want. So I applied this theory on some poor weak willed security person. It was all in good fun right? The guy running the scavenger hunt would give the radio back right? Anyways, I walk up to a security guy sitting down outside the art auction and say "Satan sent me to collect your radio." That was it, didn't give a reason, didn't over complicate things. Satan being head of security, which just about everyone knew especially security minions. The guy says ok, and hands over his radio. Of course I walk around the corner and there is Martin sitting around eating. Martin is the one running the scavenger hunt of course. There are a few other people with him.
So I walk up to Martin, sit down and hand over the radio for credit in the scavenger hunt. He asks if I know that everything turned in becomes his. I say of course. He asks where I get it, so I tell him the story. Little did I realize that one of his guests at his table is none other than Satan. She calmly asks who I got the radio from, which of course I tell her. No point in getting myself in any more trouble. She takes the radio and thats the end of it.
After I left of course I couldn't help but crack up laughing. Pure Genius!
