Six Times the Sympathy

Can you feel sympathetic for the man so lacking in [maybe everything] that he scammed a local church for a few thousand dollars with the story that he and his wife were the hard up parents of critically-ill sextuplets who were being kept in hiding because of a family member's insanity? Well, if you can, focus those tears on the childless Kris Everson, 35, who was just sentenced to three years in prison, having violated his probation. His wife, Sarah Everson, 46, is now on the lam.

Or would you rather feel there-but-for-the-grace-of-God-go-I over Eric Jarvis, 32, as he tries to make it through the next weeks (he's now at week 18) with wife Sarah and her pregnancy?

** Six is never a lucky number. **
