a guy came to my school and told us he nearly died in a car crash after driving drunk, then he said it was a lie but god had told him to lie to teenagers. somehow I got in trouble for saying this was a bad use of school funds.
unbelievable grift, being a motivational speaker for high schoolers. are they still doing that? I remember this one guy came to our school and basically just explained the plot of the movie Rudy to us then left.
