We were at the club going over some paperwork, comparing bid proposals to what we were actually billed. | |
Alexis: | Wow, there's a lot of padding in this invoice. |
---|---|
jwz: | Padding. In this context that word means ``lies,'' right? |
Alexis: | Well I was trying to be a little more diplomatic than that. |
jwz: | Diplomatic. That means... ``lies,'' right? |
Alexis: | Well, you've got a very black-and-white view of the world. |
jwz: | See, I like to refer to that as ``truth.'' |
Alexis: | And that's what makes you special, Jamie. |
