You big fat faker!
Faking it, eh? Well there's been quite a bit of that!

Besides the obligitory faking of details on forms, I guess the biggest fake which comes to mind is this:

Fresh out of college, the then young S55 used to love nothing more than to meet up with his dastardly partner in crime Col, and do nothing more all day than walk round the shops and local woodland enjoying plenty of... herbal cigarettes. Of course, when going round such stores like PC World and Comet, the last thing you want is some Sales Scrote coming up to you faking knowledge in the field of computers. Especially when the only thing he's interested in is his commision, not your needs.

We decided to get our own back.

As soon as one of these drones stopped us asking "Can I help you, sir?" we would launch into a rather speedy but important spiel that we were from XYZ Big Company, and we were wondering about A: whether there was a discount for bulk buying, B: whether these systems would be suitable to creating a high-end cluster system and C: whether the PCs would be suitable for XYZ Random Industry-standard software package. 2 games came from this. The game of winding up as many clerks who made the mistake of bothering 2 unemployed lads and the game of Who can keep a straight face the longest whilst Monged out of our trees.
I used to always win, very good at the "Poker-Face".
