Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17429141 Yeah: it's right up there with Ryan O'Neal's character in PAPER MOON; he was a 1930's Bible-selling con man who cruised the obits to hustle expensive deluxe editions -that he'd never deliver- to newly-grieving widows... even going so far as to hand-stamp their names on the cover and claim their late husbands had already put down a deposit as a special gift for them, leaving a hefty balance due they'd gladly pony up. Now, THAT'S a slick con! Quoting: GSB/LTD I forgot about that one. But he did not steal them blind while they were at the funeral mourning their dead loved one.. Quoting: @MoonPie It's just matter of opportunity, timing and technique - the intent is still the same. At least in the film, little Addie Pray [Tatum O'Neal] relented when she saw a struggling widow and her brood of hungry kids and handed over the Bible free... much to her Daddy's disgust!
