Why, he wondered, was there such a word as "lie" if lying itself was not allowed. When he came to me looking for an answer, I had to think for a moment. My cynical self had an instant reply ready, of course. About how there are many words that refer to undesirable human behavior and that "lie" was just one of those. But that would have been like flicking the lid off a box filled with nasties. All he wanted, after all, was find some sense in the world. Why spoil a perfectly fine Sunday...?
