Saturday: Fibs Versus Long-Windedness
A little inaccuracy sometimes saves tons of explanation.
- Saki
True enough -- sometimes you've got to simplify things down for the sake of time. And when you do that, sometimes you can't be totally accurate about stuff. I get the need for that, I really do. If we were all always totally accurate, we'd spend all our time explaining stuff instead of getting stuff done. Getting stuff done has got to take priority sometimes.
Still. . .you gotta be careful about your inaccuracies. The wrong slant to something can get someone in a hell of a lot of trouble. And when you outright lie just to get out of trouble or something -- yeah, that's bad. And probably gonna come back and bite you in the ass.
