After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus driver found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be transporting from Harare to Beltway had escaped. Not wanting to admit his incompetence, the driver went to a nearby bus stop and offered everyone waiting there a free ride. He then delivered the passengers to the mental hospital, telling the staff that the patients were very excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies. The deception wasn't discovered for 3 days.

Bill Wilson was the founder of Alcoholics Anonymous. For that accomplishment, Time magazine named Wilson one of the Top 100 People of the 20th century. But Wilson never found freedom from his addictive behavior. One author noted that, "Despite his victory over drink, Wilson remained incurably addictive. He chain-smoked himself into terminal emphysema. Even on his death bed, he puffed incorrigibly as he suffocated." Wilson did not drink for the last 37 years of his life, and yet he always craved alcohol. "As he lay dying and semi-delirious, he repeatedly demanded whiskey." Back in 1951, Wilson wrote, "Any way you look at it, it's a problem world." Although he battled the problem of alcohol addiction, he gave in to other obsessions. Wilson was serially unfaithful to his long-suffering wife, Lois. He had innumerable affairs and a long-term mistress with whom he contemplated eloping to Ireland. Despite his program's insistence on "rigorous honesty," Bill Wilson lived a lie.
 
 
DON’T BE FOOLED… Authenticity brings power, attracts strong friendships, and the greater the authenticity the greater the impact on the world. 
 
A woman who says she bought magic wands from a self-described psychic to erase negative thoughts says $5,400 of her money was all that disappeared. Joann Zansky, 57, said she paid a woman who claims to be a psychic $1,800 for each of three wands. "She was a terrific actress," Zansky said. "I believed her." Zansky said she contacted Bethlehem police after she became suspicious about the effectiveness of the wands. "We're investigating," police Lt. Robert Righi said. "Possibly it is some violation of consumer fraud." No charges have been filed against the woman named in the complaint. A person who answered the phone at the woman's business said she was unavailable. My first thought is… you believed in magic wands??? you deserve to be ripped off. Uh yea I bought magic Jelly beans that make you naked and I didn’t disappear and now I am being arrested for public nudity in Walmart… I want to sue… for what a brain? 
 
Don’t be fooled, don’t be gullible, don’t be stupid… God will not be mocked, he sees you for who you are- so just be honest with him and let him work on you.  
 
You know what this means… how do you be honest with God? How do you make sure you are not mocking God???
Confession….
