I was the victim of swindling in Queens on Sunday, May 27th, 2024. As I was entering I-495 East from I-295, a driver on the side of the entrance ramp flagged me down and gave me what turned out to be a fake story that he was was visiting from Dubai and that he was with his whole family (which he apparently was) and that he lost his wallet. To make a long story short, I ended up giving him $1,120 dollars. At one point, he left a "Rolex" watch in my car.

I later learned the watch was fake, thus confirming that I really had been swindled.

When I tried to fill out a police report, I was told unequivocally, this was an exchange of goods and not a crime.
 
What does this mean?
Google "Jeff Foxworthy" and here's your sign. Watch a few of his routines. You'll get it.

Dangit, it's Bill Engvall.
Where's my sign...?

Wow. Some random person flags you down and you actually believe his sorry story? It's like you were just dying to give your money away.

BTW: I have a beautiful statue of a lovely lady in NY harbor... I'm selling it for the low price of $100,000.00...you interested?
 
You didn't ask a question, so I'm unsure what the point of your post is.

That said, it's quite unfathomable that you would stop at that location and beyond comprehension that you would give this person over $1,000 (WTF carries that kind of cash)! You weren't "swindled" or the victim of any sort of crime; you were simply gullible. I learned that lesson at a gas station in my early 20s. Fortunately, it only cost me $20.
 
At one point, he left a "Rolex" watch in my car.

If you gave a dude $1200, who purportedly claimed he'd repay you with a Rolex watch, you should not expect to ever be repaid and a nasty green fungus will soon erupt on the arm upon which you wore the dude's FAKE Rolex watch.

By the way, the only one getting rolled in this deal is you, fool. Wake up, and avoid immense regret, ALWAYS say NO whenever anyone tells you a sob story, unless you enjoy being lied to and conned out of your loot.


As Chris Rock once sang, and often admonished unsuspecting males, "There ain't no sex in the Champagne Room."


Chris Rock Lyrics

No Sex (In The Champagne Room) Lyrics
Ladies and Gentlemen of the G. E. D. class of 1999,
i have one piece of advice for you,
No matter what a stripper tells you,
There Is No Sex In The Champagne Room! NONE!
Oh, theres champagne in the champagne room
But, you don't want champagne, you want sex.
And theres no sex, in the champagne room.

Dont go to parties with metal detectors.
Sure, It feels safe inside,
But what about all those xxxxxxs waiting outside with guns,
They Know You Aint Got One!

If a woman tells you shes 20, and looks 16, shes 12.
If she tells you shes 26, and looks 26, Shes Damn Near 40!

Take off that silly ass hat.

The ODB couldnt have possibly committed all those crimes.
Coolio did some of that shit

Young black men:
If you go to a movie theater, and someone steps on your foot,
Let it slide!
Why spend the next 20 years in jail b-cuz
Someone smudged Your Puma!

Cornbread-Aint nothin wrong with that!

No matter what you think of what I'm sayin,
remember this one thing:
There Is No Sex In The Champagne Room!
(That guy starts singin)
No Sex In The Champagne Room,
No Sex In The Champagne Room!
No Sex In The Champagne Room,
No Sex In The Champagne Room!
Absolutly, positively no sex in the champagne room

If a homeless person has a funny sign,
He hasnt been homeless that long.
A real homeless person is too hungry to be funny.

If a girl has a pierced tongue,
She'll probably suck your xxxx
(That'd Be great, Yeaaaah!)
If a guy has a pierced tongue,
He'll probably suck your xxxx
(Dont want that Noooooo!)

Heres a horoscope for everyone:
Aquarius-You're Gonna Die!
Capricorn-You're Gonna Die!
Gemini-You're Gonna Die TWICE!
Leo-You're Gonna Die!
Scorpio-You're Gonna Die f*ckin!

No one goes to Hooters for wings.

If you've been dating a man for 4 months,
And you havent met any of his friends yet,
You Are Not His Girlfriend!

Some of the things I said may not apply to you.
Some of the things I said may offend you
But no matter who you are,
You must remember this one thing:
No matter what a stripper says,
There Is No Sex In The Champagne Room! NONE!

No Sex In The Champagne Room,
No Sex In The Champagne Room!
Cant get none, Nooooo!
Cant have none, Nooooo!
No Sex In The Champagne Room,
No Sex In The Champagne Room!

No Sex (In The Champagne Room) Lyrics by Chris Rock - Lyrics On Demand

...........

When it comes to music, sometimes the title of a song can be misleading. Chris Rock's "No Sex (in the Champagne Room)" is a perfect example of this. At first glance, you might expect a risqué and explicit track, but in reality, the song is a comedic social commentary about the false promises and illusions often encountered in life.

Released as part of his album "Bigger and Blacker" in 1999, "No Sex (in the Champagne Room)" features Chris Rock's distinct delivery style, mixing spoken word and rap elements. The song includes an introductory monologue by Rock, providing humorous advice to the listeners, mainly focusing on avoiding deception and being aware of unrealistic expectations.

The title of the song, "No Sex (in the Champagne Room)," is derived from Rock's advice to the G.E.D. class of 1999, where he tells them that no matter what a stripper may say, there is no sex in the Champagne Room of a strip club. The lyrics revolve around this idea, emphasizing the fact that the promises and illusions often found in extravagant and glamorous settings are just that – empty promises and illusions.

Throughout the song, Rock cleverly weaves in various comedic observations and anecdotes, touching on topics like homelessness, relationships, horoscopes, and gender stereotypes. These elements add depth and relatability to the overall message of the song, highlighting the absurdity and often misguided ideals that people may fall prey to.

The inclusion of Gerald Levert's soulful vocals adds a melodic layer to the track, contrasting with Rock's humorous and sometimes blunt delivery. Levert's smooth voice provides a catchy hook and reinforces the central message of "No Sex (in the Champagne Room)" – that we should all be wary of false promises and maintain a realistic perspective.

Personally, "No Sex (in the Champagne Room)" holds a special place in my heart. I remember listening to this song during my teenage years, finding solace and amusement in Rock's witty observations. This track resonated with me because it reminded me to question societal norms and not be swayed by empty promises or unrealistic expectations.

Rock's ability to blend comedy with social commentary is something that has always fascinated me. In "No Sex (in the Champagne Room)," he tackles serious issues with humor and employs his sharp wit to provoke thought and introspection. It's a reminder to look beyond the surface and question the illusions that surround us.

Furthermore, the samples and interpolations used in the song add layers of depth to the overall composition. "No Sex (in the Champagne Room)" samples "The Ballad of Dorothy Parker" by Prince and interpolates "Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)" by Baz Luhrmann. These musical elements enhance the overall message and contribute to the unique sound that defines Chris Rock's work.

In conclusion, "No Sex (in the Champagne Room)" by Chris Rock is more than just a song with a catchy title. It's a comedic commentary that encourages listeners to question societal norms, avoid false promises, and maintain a realistic perspective. Through humorous anecdotes and witty observations, Rock delivers a powerful message that can resonate with people from all walks of life. So the next time you find yourself in the Champagne Room, remember – there's no sex to be had, but perhaps a lesson to be learned.

 
I was the victim of swindling in Queens on Sunday, May 27th, 2024. As I was entering I-495 East from I-295, a driver on the side of the entrance ramp flagged me down and gave me what turned out to be a fake story that he was was visiting from Dubai and that he was with his whole family (which he apparently was) and that he lost his wallet. To make a long story short, I ended up giving him $1,120 dollars. At one point, he left a "Rolex" watch in my car.

I have to ask you your age.

Don't feel like you have been swindled, feel like you did a good thing for a family from Dubai who apparently didn't have car problems but needed some stupid person to stop and give them money. You filled that bill. That is a good think. Right? :rolleyes:o_O:p LOL

God help us if this post is true.
