Lying and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them, Class #2, Library
Following a handwavey e-mail to his students, Jarod was holding class in the library. Even though he had gotten his voice back, he still looked rough--a large piece of gauze was taped to his left temple and forehead. He sat at one of the tables and a large bottle of water was at his side.
"Good afternoon. Last class, you were to decided on what roles you want to play, or what roles you were best suited to play. This class is about fitting into that role better. One of the easiest ways for that to happen is to learn the correct jargon--if you sound like you know what you're talking about and act like you know what you're talking about, people will believe you do, even if you really don't."
"So," he said, taking a few swallows of water, "to that end, use the books and the internet to familiarize yourself with the jargon of your chosen role, and hold a conversation with someone else, using some of it to enhance your credibility. It doesn't have to be complicated--just nice to meet you, what do you do for a living, and go on from there."
"Here is a list of websites to get you started." He passed out a handout. "Good luck."
