Study: Muns Deny All Knowledge of MESPT

"I usually pretend I'm reading CNN," anonymous mun claims

By Zlot Brokaw

ARDA-- A new study conducted by the Ethring Institute suggests that MESPT muns often lie to their families, coworkers and friends where roleplaying is concerned. A whopping 87% of muns have been known to quickly minimize windows. 78% have told loved ones that they were just checking their email. Surprisingly, 52% have actually been known to say, "God, roleplaying. How geeky."

We contacted a former mun who used to work for this very newspaper for comment. "Yeah, I lied about it. I still do," she said, a lit cigarette dangling from her pouty lips. "What am I supposed to say? That I used to spend my time pretending to be an elf? It's easier to claim that I never left the house during that time period because I was 'depressed' or something."

"Once," our anonymous mun continued, "I had plans to hang out with some friends. Unfortunately, my puppet was getting married that night. So I cancelled. What did I tell them?" She scrunched up her nose with intense thought. "Oh. I told them I had Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever."

So why lie? Most of those surveyed cite the shame. One respondent scrawled in the margin, "HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT YOU'RE A GAMGEE CHILD ON THE INTERNET? HAVE YOU?"

As of our deadline, MESPT has only resulted in three divorces.
