Have you carried out a successful con? Perhaps you hustled a few quid off a stranger, or defrauded a multi-national company. Or have you been taken for the wide-eyed, naive rube that you are?

2 Free PintsYou need a pub with an old-school style of landlord for this (you know the sort, still work in feet and inches and other imperial units) but it works, I've tried it.
Once you've been in the pub for a while, approach the landlord and ask him if he can settle an argument with you. You and your friend can't decide how many pints are in a quart. You're convinced it's 2 but he is adamant that it's 4. The landlord will turn round and tell you that the answer is 2. You can now return to your table.
Shortly afterwards, seek out a member of bar staff who is far enough away from the landlord that they won't be able to hear whats said and tell them that the landlord has bought you 2 pints. They probably won't believe you and (so long as the landlord remembers you) when you mime "2" at him he will nod or give you the thumbs up. The unknowning member of staff will hand you 2 pints and you can wend your merry way.
