Deception for Fun and Profit, Monday, Period 2

[doubleohblonde]

Bond's class were back in a normal classroom this week, so it looked like it'd be another discussion week.

"Good morning, class, I trust you all survived the weekend relatively unscathed," he greeted them once they'd all arrived. "Though it does provide a lead in to the ethics of lying. Now, I would assume that regardless of your own feelings on the matter, all of you have at one time or another been told that lying is wrong, either morally, ethically, or legally. However I would also assume that at least some of you lied over the past few days, either to your own guests or to someone else's.

"So today we're to to discuss what kind of lies you might have told this weekend, and why you might have done so, and what made that situation different to one where you wouldn't lie."

"Well, Life Day," Mara said, "but it's a little bit different."

"It's a Wookiee holiday, and I'm not a Wookiee, thank you very much," Mara said, "but it's held every three years to remember their family members who have died, their connection to their planet, and there are gifts exchanged, that sort of thing."

Now he just wanted to know what the hell a Wookie was, Mara.

"That don't sound too bad, though. Nicer than some bullshit holiday."

"So you don't celebrate when the large man in red brings a baby down through a burning fireplace for gifts?" Mara asked.

Excuse Eggsy while he laughed at that description. Laughed and laughed. You better bet he would ask her to explain Easter in the spring.

Mara frowned in confusion. "That's not correct?"
