Strange Conversations: Part One Hundred and Thirty-Eight
Posted 18 May 2009 in Strange Conversations by Catriona
After accusing Nick of running off with my good black pen:
NICK: Here it is.
ME: You did run off with it!
NICK: No, I didn’t!
ME: Well, where did you find it?
NICK: I can’t tell you that.
ME: Why not?
NICK: I can’t tell you that, either.
ME: And why can’t you tell me?
NICK: I’ve been sworn to secrecy.
ME: By whom?
NICK: Myself.
(Pause)
ME: You’ve been sworn to secrecy by yourself?
NICK: Yes.
ME: Well, could you let yourself out of your oath of secrecy?
NICK: Oh, I don’t think so, Treen. That would be highly inappropriate.
And all that to avoid telling me what he’d done with my pen.

I’m pretty sure this is how corporate law works.
