Your choice is incredibly weak actually.

Frank Abagnale of "Catch me if you Can" fame is a good place to start. Although i'm sure there are some better less well known choices.

The greatest con artists aren't famous for their cons. They con people and don't get caught.

Outstanding choice. I was hoping someone would say Yellow Kid.

If you don't know about him, look him up. Fascinating.

The [censored] who took my $20 and told me the weed was wrapped up in that plastic bag, and put it in the change slot of the phone booth. By the time I had torn open the plastic enough to see that there was no weed, he had booked it.

I thought about this some more, and it's probably a toss up between these two.

Joseph: "Pregnant?!? How is that possible!"
Mary: (nervously) "Umm, god?"
Joseph: "Wow, ok"
