My posse was getting a little too affluent.  Not filthy rich, but
comfortable.  So I've been putting overpriced deals in front of them,
which they take.  (A map of a state for a case of soda, for example.
But of course the map turned out to have a big clue folded inside.
That ensures they continue to take outrageous offers.)

And still unbeknownst to them, the townie servicing their truck
is taking the payment he asked for, instead of -er, actually, in
addition to- the price he settled for.

And later?  One word: Frogtown.

After that, watch for a posting of the Con Man ... after I use him at
least once.
