Sometimes the best way to get away with doing something questionable is to make it so obvious that no one would think that that's what you are really doing!

Your jacket won't button, sir, because your liver is too large. We will just have to remove your liver and the jacket will fit just fine.

Ms. LaTourhette worked her way through college by selling cleavage peeks for a nickle through a device that she invented during her last year of High School....She went on to invent the machine pictured in the background, which she claimed could reverse aging through high voltage electrical stimulation....Unfortunately the claims were lacking scientific legitimacy and banned from use after several mysterious deaths associated with patients undergoing treatments....these deaths were later attributed to heart stoppage due to electrocution....




From the Annals of Engineering Daily, lesser known historical figures...

Doctor Jimmy "The Lech" Feinstein loved breasts, and could not get enough of them…..

So he started a Mammogram scam, After his first attempt of a machine failed (see picture below), he felt he had to refine it more to make it look a lot more professional…… with blinking lights, bells and sounds, as shown above.………..

Needless to say, his practice really took off. That he was even able to charge for examinations.
