I am so smart  
That I need a special large hat for my giant brain.  
My giant brain has figured out that when the big hand is on the half hour, the little hand cannot be pointing exactly to 7, so this must be an upside down clock face reading 1 o’clock.

Certain scams begin with an unknown person sending kisses to you via the Internet.  
If you fall for it, you may take the next plane to a faraway, exotic destination you’ve never heard of before.  
The person waiting for you at the airport does not resemble the woman in the online picture you saw to begin with.
