Hello Steemians
As I promised this post is actually a joke that continues along our conversation on “identifying dishonest people”
But even though it is a joke, it has an honest message because it really makes a case for the type of people that you must avoid.
All in good fun to finish off the weekend, hopefully next week is nothing but blessings for you all!
There was a gentleman of about 60 years old who was moving a lot of money in his personal account, so one day the FBI gave him a call, they wanted to see what reasons he had to move those quantities in his accounts, where was the money coming from, etc.
The man told the agent: I make the money making little bets with my friends and other people, and as far as I know, there is nothing illegal about that.
The agent asked: What do you mean bets? But the amounts are way too big to be making that money with friends, those numbers are like a casino.
The man continued explaining to the agent that he was telling the truth and that he was not breaking any laws.
A few days later the retired man of the story receives a summon, he has to go to the FBI office and show where the money is coming from in person. The man of course had to comply, and and went to the summon on the date with his own lawyer of course.
When he arrived to the office, the retired man spoke first and told the officer: I can prove to you that I can make the money simply by making small bets friend friends and other people.
The agent says: Ok, show me Sir, I’m all ears.
The man continues: I’ll bet you 5 thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye!
The agent of course found this very strange, and it made no sense, so he agreed: Ok, done, I’ll take you up on the bet.
The man takes out his left eye, it was glass after all, puts it in his mouth, bites it and puts it back. Ok, I won.
The agent furious says: But that was cheating! - The old man interrupts: No it’s not, you took the bet, but OK, I can understand your frustration and I can see your side, but I’m going to give you an opportunity to make your money back.
I can bet you that I can bite my other eye! The agent got freaked out for a second and started to think about it: “Ok, this gentleman entered the office with no dog guide or any help whatsoever, it’s obvious he’s not blind, his second eye must be good”
The agent says: Ok, I accept, let’s do 7 grand because I’m going to recover what I lost and make some money on top. This will be like taking candy from a kid.
Then the retired man look at the FBI agent, took out his dentures and using them in his hand bit his right eye. The agent started to lose his mind. The old man speaks up: You see how I make my money?
He continued: Ok, I’m going to be nice to you, I’m going to give you the chance to win it all back and make a lot more money, I don’t want you to be upset.
This is the bet: Do you see that vase right there, almost 30 feet away on that desk? I will bet you 15 thousand dollars that I can pee into that vase without having one single drop fall on the floor.
The agent was very worried and confused, after all, it was a man of 60, he could not have a healthy prostate to be able to do such thing, not even a young man could. The agent said to the man: I see you are a good person, you are letting me win my money back.
Ok, I agree fifteen thousand dollars, remember I owe you 12, so this would make you have to pay me 3 grand.
Ok, said the retired man, lets do it.
He takes out his member from his pants and starts to urinate everywhere, the tables, some on the agent, almost everyone got splashed. The agent got up in joy and started to scream: I WON, I KNEW IT, I WON!
On the other side of the lawyer punches the table and screams: OLD BASTARD!!! HOW COULD YOU?
The agent stops smiling and says: What happened? Why are you upset? You got peed or something?
The lawyer continues: NO, ITS NOT THAT. This disgusting man made a bet with me for 100 thousand dollars that we would come to your office, he would pee all over your desk and on your employees here, and that you would be grateful and happy!!
The old man had made 85 thousand dollars, and proved he could make a lot of money with friends and even people he didn’t know easily.
To conclude, even though this is a joke, I want to say that the message is clear, you have to learn to recognize the dishonest people and stay clear from them, because they are always trying to take advantage of the situation. Have you not met someone like this?
So again:
When you identify a dishonest person, run away!
Hope everyone starts off a great week, and that you got a good laugh with this humorous post.
Have a nice week!
Dear @chbartist sir!
Ha ha 🤗 ha. I cannot believe that this week will be start with a funny mind freshsing jokes. I think the old man was the wisest dishonest man, who earned $85 by bet.This kind of intelligent dishonest people already prepare the format to cheat and implement it at the right time.When bad times arrive then the eyes are closed. It is difficult to distinguish good &bad.When a bad person bet to bite the eye from the tooth, the agent should have been absolutely alert that this is not possible. There can be trap move in this.As the saying goes that during the time of destruction, the intellect becomes contrary to the same agent.
We have to careful from such kinds of dishonest man.
Regards with love<3
Yes, and believe me. There are many of these out there that can bite your eye. haha Have a great week!
😂 haha! What a joke! Such smart people can be seen in real world. One such conman was Natwarlal in India who sold Taj Mahal to many people. They easily trust him and he deceived everyone easily. When he was 70 year old and was in prison, he duped policemen and ran away from the prison. After all, why should anyone not trust a 70 year feeble old man who were on a wheelchair.
This world is full of such people who get fun in deceiving simpletons.
Exactly @akdx, there are dishonest people everywhere. Keep your eyes open.
Hi friend @chbartist first of all thanks much for another nice post. As you mentioned this is fun story but message is very clear. We must recognise the kind of dishonest people and save ourself. If we don't recognise then they will come and use us to fullfill their self.
Have a great day.

Yes, the message is very clear!!! Regards
This is premeditated scam.
This old man in this joke woes his preys by challenging them to engage in or experience impossible task with the promise of a juicy reward if he fails.
if when someone sounds too good to be true, Please verify first before you commit
Exactly!
Hello @chbartist ,welcome back. I wonder that how people are cheating now a days. Your story of this old man is really a good piece of learning for us all.
I have a lot of examples in my life. A lot of people who cheated me. Some were my close friends. But now I'm Careful.
I have learnt a lot from my mistakes. And there is no possibility to repeat these mistakes again.
Keep on sharing your experience with us. We are here to see more about your experience. Have a good day from @coolguy222

It's a joke but it's also a lesson.
It's a joke, but the reality is, we are being deceived by dishonest men now and then because of our greediness, we can't differentiate between honest & dishonest, I think that's our main problem. thanks for your awareness writing, it will help people who are very sympathetic and simple to others
Thank you friend!
Haha 😂 this is one of the funniest jokes have read in along while.....but there alot of lessons to be learnt up there. The smallest thing u have being it money, skill ,knowledge can land you in greater heights if u apply little wisdom.
Thanks for post bro
Thank you friend!
I think it also teaches another great lesson! Anything that seems like a sure bet or an easy way to make money is not as it seems or wrong!
Yeah, it's a joke but it happens every day in real life.
Although it’s an joke but the old man is master in winning money. It’s an difficult task to beat this type of dishonest person who make skills to win every situation it’s like an trap
Exactly! Run....
@chbartist
I read this joke when I was 18. I laughed allot and told it to all my friends they laughed also. At that time it was a joke but when I start facing these types of people who have these qualities then I think that was not a joke i relies how dangerous they are.
"Dishonest people really they sucks."
In my life journey I also found allot of dishonest people who are really very close to me. When I understand it was too late. What they did to me really it took years to recover. I learnt a great lessons.
Now I don't give a shit to these types of people. But if I found a person with good attitude and helping nature then I always trust him and help him.
Instead of a fear-based attitude, I react to the person with a love-based attitude. I treat the person with emotional generosity — honesty, kindness, love, and positivity, all in one.
I find one thing if you want others to be honest, then start off by being an example of what honesty is, so others can follow suit.
@asks
Exactly my friend, I am telling you what you want to say only that dishonest people have no feelings are like sociopaths and the damage they cause as you said can lead us to waste years of our journey. Regards
Hahaha! Luckily it's just a joke, I would not like to imagine how bad it could be for the old pee in the entire office of the FBI agents. Haha
Especially when it comes to business, you have to know how to differentiate between those that are reliable and those that are not.
Yes it's a joke but there are people like that walking around. Keep your eyes open.
Hahahaha. You made me laugh, @chbartist. If there is one thing we should recognize about dishonest people is that they are very cunning, they are able to wrap even the most intelligent. Although this is a funny story, we can not help but see that most people are victims of dishonesty for three main reasons: trust, ambition and believe that is more astute than the other. Good story to start the week. Hugs
Thank you! Have a nice week! Hugs
There is a very good story. Sir, this story gives us education as well as entertainment that we should be avoiding such thugs.
Thank you, have a great week.
I have heard this story before ,thanks for reminding me ,i know very well that how people cheat to one another ,a lot of dishonest people are in our lives but we need to get rid of them.
Exactly my friend, run from them. Regards
Sir, this was a wonderful story. I had heard such a story in my childhood. You are right to stay away from the unreasonable people
It's a joke but it's also a lesson. Have a wonderful week.
I liked the story of you. Sir, you have told the truth that in the present times, many people who are dishonest have taken advantage of others. We must stay away from such people.
Keep your eyes open. Regards
hahahahah really a great joke with a great message
always we have to understand peoples intention before we trust on them
Yes, It's a joke but it's also a lesson. Regards
A long time ago a co-worker bet me $300 that Williams was going to win a tennis match. I took the bet because I am a degenerate gambler. It turns out Serena Williams was playing her sister Venus Williams, so Williams was guaranteed to win. I did not pay him.
Good example. Regards
Haha some people are very wise o. Am sure it was his agent that reported to the FBI and yet still he went there and conquired.
Maybe! Have a good week!
Though it is on the lighter side, quite thoughtful to ponder upon with a hearty laugh!!!
Exactly!
Hahahahahahah. This is a "smart" way to make money. Lol. I love the idea.
Back to the post, i see the elderly man to be smart and cunning. He told the truth. He was trickster yet honourable.
But these people are very dangerous. Regards!
Yes indeed.
good story & Humor, but an excellent lesson. Thank You!!
Yes, is a lesson! Regards
When you identified a dishonest person, JUST RUN AWAY.
I’m amazed, I must say rarely do I find a blog that’s equally educative and entertaining, and undeniably, you’ve hit the nail in the head. Now I’m delighted I found this during my seek out something associated with this. Great post! Have nice day ! 🙂
This is so true!! Sometimes, it's hard to recognize these kind of people because they look innocent or trustworthy! Only to find out in the end that they have played a trick on you!
You can never judge a book by its cover bro...
This is really funny and true.. These disonest people are all around us.. And the funny thing is that they will still try to make you place greater bets to prove how honest their dishonesty is, getting you more entangled in their treacherous web. I think the best thing to do is to identify them and never play along. This is a good one.
if only all stories of dishonesty are as amusing as this.. lol.. sad to say, i have been victimized by people who i never suspected. i learned my lessons after several times of being fooled. if only the dishonest deeds are from strangers, i guess it will be less painful.
i guess when you are innately unsuspicious of others, you're really an easy prey.. we learn some lessons the hard way..

Hey Can you identify me whether I dishonest or not?😘😘😘
It is a wise advice. Thanks.
such scamming people are really quick thinkers.. brilliant even.. but hopefully, they put their talent in good deeds to keep their conscience peaceful at least.
The old adage: "If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is." could never be more aptly described than in this joke.
well.. dishonest people will always be dishonest.. such a sad reality
A good joke can work wonders for the soul. Thank you.
Agree! Sometimes, these kind of people looks innocent and can be trusted, it's really hard to recognize them.
