Reply #106: That's not how the Secret Service works; I was confronted by them once [View All]

During the Clinton years, my dad and I were part of a group of people who pulled a practical joke on a long-time friend. He'd been nursing a grudge about a high school football coach since the 60s. So, we faked a letter from this coach asking him to contribute to a book that the coach was working on.

Well, we expected him to go nuts and start yelling at the local bar the night he got it. Instead, he investigated and actually called the coach. The coach got mad that a letter was mailed in his name and got his son...who works for the freakin' Secret Service involved.

Basically, we all came clean and the agent just intimidated the shit out of us for about fifteen minutes each. Talking about mail fraud and such.

I learned my lesson.

The Secret Service don't really investigate except where counterfitting is concerned. They really just bully.
