Money well spent

When you're living an elaborate lie, it's probably not a good idea to call attention to yourself, as this dumbass learned after shelling out a couple grand to do just that:
A Connecticut woman who authorities say spent more than $2,000 to stage a dinner honoring her as "Nurse of the Year" has been charged with pretending to be a nurse at a doctor's office. Betty Lichtenstein, 56, of Norwalk was charged Thursday.

Prosecutors say Dr. Gerald Weiss believed Lichtenstein was a registered nurse, especially after she was named the Connecticut Nursing Association's "Nurse of the Year" in 2008.

According to the arrest warrant, that association does not exist.
Yeah, that would seem to be a minor problem right there.
