The Nice Story that I Sold!

When I went to Nevada and then California to do that hike I had been wanting for a long time, I wondered how I can justify the trip. I was eligible for three days but I needed more. So I said that I was helping a family member to move. It apparently worked. I went and came back with no issue. At the same time I had a coveralls which had been given to me by a previous workplace and I had never worn that. I decided to try because it looked comfortable. As well I wouldn't have to wear jeans and shirts. So I wear it one day at work and told them that I had found it in a box in that family member's basement, whom I helped to move! I added that the relative used to have a tenant in his basement and the guy, who by the way worked in the nearby facility, left without paying his last two months rent! He also left a number of boxes behind and then when we moved everything, we brought the boxes as well! We opened them and this coveralls were amongst the stuff! I said that I felt bad for the guy but considering he left the boxes and didn't pay his rent, I think I can wear that! 

It was so nice that I was able to combine those two short stories and and make a believable one. The fact that I had to repeat the same to many, helped me to be consistent and sell it with confident! Joseph Goebbels, the German politician in Nazi era says: If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. Mine was not probably very big but I did exactly he says! This, however, does not necessarily mean that I am a follower of his or I approve what he did! Don't try to use this against me. I just needed a good time in the mountains!

This obviously has not happened to me but this was a very popular cartoon series back in the old country when I was in grade school and it was a Japanese made animation! He is used here over Google's logo as many believe that Google lies tremendously to its users!)
