CONFESSIONS

Four friends, Alex, Lucy, Sam and Jo were sitting in a coffee bar and chatting, when the subject of their own faults came up in
conversation.
‘I must admit,’ said Alex, ‘I sometimes use the company’s phone for private calls and I often steal office stationery from work
when the boss isn’t looking. If my boss found out, I’d get fired.’
‘Well, I guess my greatest fault,’ Lucy told the group, ‘is that I gamble too much. I play online poker and I buy lottery tickets.
My parents are really strict, and if they heard about it, I’d be in real trouble.
‘I don’t gamble,’ Sam said, ‘but I’d say that my worst fault is my drinking habit. I drink far too much. If it ever got out, I’d
lose my job.’
Joe had been silent during the conversation, so Sam turned and asked him, ‘Well, Joe, do you have any faults, then?’
‘Oh, yes,’ said Joe, ‘and mine is worse than any of yours. My greatest fault is that I just can’t keep a secret.’
