So that saying is a con person's justification: "the mark had it coming."
Pretty much only true on Leverage.

Oh right, Onerous Task Day. Good thing that I scheduled the appointment with the emergency therapist today. Which I am not looking forward to, but I know will be good for me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Pretty much only true on Leverage.
But not actually true on Leverage. I don't recall them ever saying it. They say it a lot on Hustle though, and I hate it.
On Leverage they choose their targets, and that's the end of that.
On Hustle they have conned honest people. And still claim they can't con an honest person. It drives me batshit. Yet, still I watch. It's Adrian Lester. He's crack. Also, Robert Vaughn. And a little bit of Glenister.

Speaking of cons, my morning work today involved securities filings, with a great one coming from Alabama. Someone there got a cold call selling stock in a company. After a few days, he received a packet from them, and then he got a followup call from a woman. He asked her if she and the company were registered to sell stock in the state, and she said they were. She then asked him what he thought of the opportunities as shown in the packet, and he said that "he was so impressed with said investment opportunity that he shared it with the Alabama Securities Commission," whereupon she promptly hung up the phone.
Smart guy.

Other onerous tasks include editing a 16 page whitepaper, and going to buy a bunch of silica gel so I can start drying the flowers people have sent in memory of Mom.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Kathy -- I've seen a lot of consumer complaints involving getting fleeced by fraudulent cashier's checks. So I can only say, Wonderful story!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I have gotten my data current! I think I can start printing year end reports now. I feel tremulous, like, this should be harder.
Damned onerous task day, making hard tasks turn out to be easy.
