Looking For Energetic, Reliable and Honest People?
Looking for Energetic, Reliable and Honest People: Why?At the turn of the century, in Chicago, the Yellow Kid would advertise for "reliable and honest individuals looking for a business opportunity". He reasoned that he needed someone who was shady, looking for something for nothing. He was looking for mooches, much like the Ascot International scammers.
Who answers ads for "energetic, reliable, and honest people"?
Someone who wants their public self image to be energetic, reliable and honest - but is thereby also signaling to the outside world that they are neither energetic, reliable nor honest. Energetic people don't respond to business opportunity ads, they have better things to do. Only people who require their public self image to be energetic, reliable and honest will respond. Having testified to the world as to their honesty, they then feel that they can backslide in the honesty department - which makes them ripe for mooch bait.
