Lie

If You Must Lie, Be Brief

This topic made me remember during my Undergraduate school days what happened that i think suits this topic.
During my school days, time came when it was due for we the students to pay the sectional departmental dues; so, the courserep came announcing that the dues for the section will be #1000 instead of the normal #500, that the Head of Department (HOD) insisted we pay #1500, but he with our departmental course adviser pleaded for the said price; Announcement ends. Hours letter the Course Adviser came to lecture us, but something interesting happened, after the lecture, during the question and answer section, a colleague stood up and asked the lecturer why the sudden change of the departmental due from #500 to #1000 as per the announcement given by the courserep earlier before the lecture. The lecture was astonished and said angrily to the courserep and the general class, i did not ask you to pay any thing more than the normal amount for your dues. The courserep was speechless and ashamed as he was caught up with his lies.
