WOW.  This must have been quite an ordeal. 

The guy said he knew "something was wrong when he stopped answering my questions".

My momma always used to say, "If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving is not for you."

Momma had a way with words.

Sure, why not; Momma wasn't afraid to file the serial numbers off a good joke and call it hers anyways.
