I think "You can't con an honest man," means that honest people aren't as into being on the inside track, or believing they will get something for nothing(ie the TV that "fell off the truck", that is really a box of rocks.) You can con someone more easily if they think of themselves as working all the angles and stuff.
And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You can con someone more easily if they think of themselves as working all the angles and stuff.
Or if they're stupid.
I have no idea why this bothers me so much.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Suck it, Torosaurus!

My left shoulder hates me this morning. Had a good deep tissue massage last night and she really worked my shoulders. Heating pad is being applied.
Smooth flying to all who will be airborn over the next few days. Our forecast keeps saying "slight chance of snow" but so far no white stuff (other than in the mountains).

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
shrift, I am so sorry about your grandmother. Peace to you and your family and major relative~ma to you.
I think we're getting snow tonight and more tomorrow.
The news this morning said snow just in time for rush hour tomorrow morning. Joy. But, only .5-1.5" Just enough to muck up morning commutes.
