How to Cheat at Pool, NAPA Auto Parts and More
While looking for something else — probably something related to Nicole Eggert — I came across Maxim Online's Cheat of the Week Archive. It contains tips for Joe Average in his quest to screw everyone in sight, from stuffing foosball goals with newspaper to scamming extra time to write a report.

Now, we all know cheaters never win. (And neither do the Atlanta Braves. Like ever.) But I am relaying these tips simply so you don't find yourself with beer on the tip of your pool cue.

How to cheat at...
Waiting Tables — Slip coupons into payment, keep cash
Cell Phones — Fry your current model, trade-in for newer
Laundry Machines — Something about quarters and granny's pantyhose
Mailing Stuff — Media Mail; it's cheap, yo

Paul I'm real sorry about your Giants. I feel bad that they can't hold onto the ball during a game.

The cell phone thing really does work, seen it firsthand. Another trick, depending on your insurance, is you drop your phone in a puddle. They charge you something like $5 and then give you a phone that cost the same as your old one.

I worked at a restaurant where some servers were scamming coupons out of the newspaper boxes (they'd buy one paper and take 25, cut the coupons out and throw the rest of the paper away) and turning them in for cash.

When we finally caught them, they had scammed out an estimated $5000 between the four of them.

True Story.
