Funny story about claiming to large a crowd
Nothing to do with the number of people attending War&Peace.
But years ago I worked for a hosbital that had a really big charity car show. The Public Relations Director who organised the show had a habit of claiming a crowd far larger than actuall attended. Until one year he made the mistake of collecting the money from the gate and counting it all by himself. You can guess what happened the auditor, a car fan, remembered what was said in the newspaper story and then looked at the deposit slip. The math did not quite work. You guessed it, there was a new Public Relations Director shortly there after.
