I'll confess that when I was very young I was told by a dealer at an antique mall that a piece I was admiring was a genuine Mayan artifact. I didn't pay a lot for it, but the point is, I believed him. I went on a job interview the next day and when the guy asked me about my hobbies, I sat up straight and proud and told him I collected Pre Columbian artifacts. "As a matter of fact, I just acquired one yesterday." I said with an air of sophistication. He raised one eyebrow and said, "Reeeally?" Needless to say, I didn't get the job.
