Sizing up the Competition: Part II

Here's a testimonial from a real live Friend of the Kennedy Center, from the KC Website:

"As a couple recently moved to the Northern Virginia area, we were looking for an opportunity to volunteer in a community-oriented organization. We have always been so proud of our nation's center for the performing arts; and when we discovered that it was possible to become a Friends volunteer, we jumped at the chance! Thanks so much for having us!"
- Roy and Lynn O'Connor


Take a second look. Do you really think Roy and Lynn jumped at the chance? I'm sure they're a lovely couple, but all I'm saying is I didn't know we could lie on our application. If this delightful (but senior) couple jumped at the chance, then I did a triple lutz, stuck the landing, and then scored a perfect 10 on the floor routine (while still wearing the ice skates).

Are we allowed to lie on our tours too? Slippery slope, my friends. Slippery slope indeed.
