A Company of Lies

I read an article in Christian Business Daily about a company that helps people to lie better. Yes, that's right...

This company proudly offers its value proposition. Some examples of its services are as follows:

Virtual Employment: If you want to appear to be employed — no problem. The company will create the ruse for you.

Pretend You Are Anywhere: If you want to appear to be in a particular location other than where you are — no problem. The company will create the illusion for you.

Rescue Call Services: If you need to be rescued from a bad date, a dull meeting or some other commitment — no problem. The company will create and deliver an excuse for you to leave.

Having a Discreet Affair: If you want to have an extramarital affair and hide it from your spouse — no problem. The company will create the necessary cover to facilitate your sin.

Pretty sad.

In a Fast Company article about the virtues of telling the truth in business, someone said, "Once people get through to the truth, they fall in love with it."

Now there is a novel concept!
