A good trick

Men who have been in jail for a long time and are very vengeful often escape by the trick of pretending they are the dead guy in the cell next to them.*  The jailers foolishly toss them over a cliff or bury them alive instead of the real dead guy.  This is a great trick.

But I think an even greater trick is to fool everyone into thinking you're alive when you're actually dead.

*Refer to Edmond Dantés, Don Diego de la Vega, and Joseph

The Mask of Zorro was a good choice, was it not? Also, the fact that you crossed out Joseph was not lost on me--nor was your last sentence.
